Hi Guys...
I was down and out with a lower back injury for a few weeks there but I'm back to Bimmers now! I brought home the a light meter so I can take some readings later when it gets dark out. Now I just have to find the stock bulb I took out ![]()

Well Folks the results are in and they are hard for me to believe.....
Footcandle measurements With LED Bulbs ![]() Eye placement directly on lens ![]() And the OEM Bulb Results ![]() I hard to believe when looking at them in person but the OEM has over twice the lights output. I realize the perceived brightness was due to the change in color temperature but I didn't think it was going to be that much of a difference. I will still keep running the LEDs because they look great and are bright enough for me but I might try a 15W HID kit in the future and see how I like that.
