Hi imawakenow, yes I am pleased with the brightness of these LED headlights. They are model number 9003/H4 from Siriusled.net. They are 3200 lumens per blub and are about 50% brighter than the original halogen H4 blubs. They also have a much whiter color, which I like. We paid $110 for each set. They do have more "scattered" light than the old H4's, but not enough to have any oncoming traffic show displeasure by flashing their bright lights. I did have to adjust the original Honda Civic headlights when I installed the new LED bulbs.

We have bought 3 sets of these headlight bulbs and of the 6, we did have one failure after about 3 months of use. Sirius did replace the defective bulb under warrantee. They can only be contacted by e-mail, but did get back to me after 2 e-mails.

I checked their site today and the bulbs we bought are 4th generation, but now they have a 5th and 6th generation. Not sure how much better the newer blubs may be.

When I bought these LED bulbs about a year ago, I felt I was still on the "bleeding edge" of this new technology, but overall I feel these bulbs are defiantly an improvement over the halogen with much less amp draw.
