2 questions about lights!
Hello to every one.
Question 1 . Currently i have stock Bi-Xenon and i really hate how bad they are at lightning up the road. SO my question is if there is someone that tryed to replace them with LED D1S bulbs ? Question 2. My cars right side TAIL Light is not getting any power i check the cables and seems that they are all OK change the bulb with several once and still no change i check the Fuse box and all of the fuse are fine. The car is recognizing that the bulb is not working so can it be the FMR module or something like that ? |

my initial impression is to say NO. i seriously doubt that this LED bulb would be anywhere close to the brightness of a D1S Xenon bulb.

Just asking if its going to work . I know there is the chance for it to not be bright as the d1s but still my headlights are very weak, even after i polish them now i drive in some parts in my townthat dont have good lightning on high beams. For first iam gonna change the plastic cover and see if there is any difference after that i think going for this LED light all i need info are they gonna work at all .

have you aimed your headlights properly?
changed the bulbs? xenon bulbs can go an incredibly long time without burning out, but they loose output over time. If you have orignial bulbs they may only be 50% as bright as they were when new. I've owned a lot of cars, icluding ones with headlight harnesses and relays running 100W halogens. The factory xenon setup in these cars is quite good, if it's in proper working order. |

As an example OSRAM Cool Blue has a bluer intensity with longer throw than their stock replacement. Nightbreakers have a different effect as well. Generic brands also have varied lumens and kelvin ratings. |

We offer LED that are 6000 Lumen, that's nearly 2x brighter then xenon/HID. |

4000 lumen from that bulb is BS... that would be over 37 watts of power( or more likely) and even with a fan that thing would overheat in minutes. 4000 lm is likely a theoretical max that the LED's could handle, not what is actually makes.
