if you want brighter, but same yellowish tint (4300K), you can get these from philips:
D2S: Philips 85122+ - HID Bulbs from The Retrofit Source Inc
if you want brighter, but a diamond/blue tint (5000K), you can get these from osram:
D2S: Osram Xenarc 66240 CBI - HID Bulbs from The Retrofit Source Inc
any of the bulbs will give you more output, about 3500 lumens. personally, from what ive seen our stock koito bulbs arent as bright as the philips, so id give you an "estimate" that the stock bulbs put out 3000 lumens or less. this is completely subjective of course |
Thanks for the pointers. Yeah will deffo raise them a touch to start see if it helps enough.
But I agree the light output is definately down on other HID's, even just parking it next to the Volvo's we have at work can easily see the brightness emitted is higher on those without factoring in light levels. Likes of some of the new Mercedes seem to be far far brighter at night.
I just want to be able to see where im going lol
