    The highest output and whitest non-fully coated H11 is the GE Megalight +130. They have higher lux intensity than any other performance bulb I’ve tried, including against H9s. And I’ve tried many performance bulbs. Their color is ~3500k. You can see a comparison in post #29 here:

    There are likely few members on here that have the proper body, lens, and know how to do that. That said, I agree that taking pictures of bright white lights is meaningless because halogen, LED, and HID are all going to look fairly similar from that angle.

    If LEDs weren’t satisfactory, I gotta ask.. did you aim them? Mine still aren’t where I want them, but I feel they’re a touch low in my aiming. Going to pull her car in front of mine and aim them just below her side mirrors vice using the ‘center of your housings to the wall, back up 25 ft, aim’ method.

    I run Nokya 3800 65w H9 (modified) for my lows and just added STi-R clear lenses to the stock projectors while I was doing my BHLM, they match the DRL perfect. I tried to put the same bulbs on my highs but they were just as yellow as the stock bulbs so I just kept the stock on the highs.
    I also run these same bulbs on my T4R.
