Even though the brightness gains are not large, there is some gain (1875 lumens to 2350) in going from 9012 55w stock bulbs to 9011 65w bulbs. So, I thought I'd show what's needed to do the swap.

All this talk about how bright this or that bulb is, made me go out and buy a lux meter. The engineer in me always seems to want real measured data. So, I bought this Extech LT300 for about $125.

If you replace your stock HIR bulbs with regular halogen bulbs, you'll be going from about 1800 lumens to about 1000 lumens of output. I don't care if it's whiter light, there's no way it's worth cutt

Installed the Cree LED foglights yesterday. First pic is Cree vs stock then the second is completed. Looks like they throw good light at night also.

 

Got a link for those? Are they 5000K?

 

Thanks!

Purchased.

 

Hopefully they don't cause any issues!

 

Will also be looking to upgrade the headlights next!

 

Where did you get them from? I purchased off eBay and one of my bulbs wouldn't always turn on right away. They are sending me a replacement.

Philips screwdriver adjustment, very easy to do. Google it for photos and videos showing exactly where to find itI

I know this was last year but I have surfed the interwebs for this info and have struck out. Does anyone have a specific link on the phillips screwdriver trick?
