wow......
why dont we just go back to 4 ply tires..........
Headlamps are designed by computers SPECIFICLY for the hotsopt of the bulb that is in them. PERIOD.
so EVEN IF it had the same lumens, it would not 'work'. oh, you'll get light...with a glare pattern!

And dont take a picture of the front of you car and say 'see...lotsa light!"
take a picture of the light pattern on a dark road before and on a wall before. then com-are with you led.

or .........just do what you want.

I am amazed how many people are aba testing aero mods, but dont understand the science behind the lights. THe .0001% gain in mileage from the lower electrical pull is completely offset by 1. the illegal & 2. inferior light.
