The light output for those suck. Unless you have HID or retrofit.

both
i have the first ones on top

I ended up retrofitting mine. Here are pics of the light output with those and 35w 8000k HID:

Image
before adjustment, to see the beam in focus
very splotchy and with wild hotspots everwhere

Image
high beam, again, pre adjustment


didnt bother to take pics post adjustment cause it was just as bad

It took me all of two weeks before i called izntrbl for a retro to my car and shipped them those headlights, two weeks old.

It doesnt matter....the output sucks either way. The output sucks with the stock lights too.

The ONLY way to get decent light output is to do a retrofit.

You'll get way better output with HIDs in your fogs than with the same HIDs in the headlights.
