Hey bro,
The ones that I ended up ordering were 20w. However, after purchasing them, the seller wrote to ask if it would be OK for him to send the newer, 30w versions. These were new-stock, as they had sold out of the older (20w) stock. Cool with me

I'm still not very well versed on the whole CREE LED bulb deal, but apparently, the wattage numbers for these is not really comparable with how we rate halogen bulbs. They have a lower wattage rating than halogens, but produce the same or higher light output.

I'm very happy with the output. A bit brighter than my OEM halogens. The color/output is somewhere in-between a Silverstar bulb and a 5000K HID xenon bulb. Nice happy medium b/t the two.

I need step up to 25 amp fuses though, as the 20's I upgraded to earlier are not quite enough. The still cause a buzzing noise every now and then, likely when the LED's fans kick in.
