LEDs provide a relatively uniform intensity over their chip. Its very predictable.Īn HID burner is very intese at the electrodes, and less intense towards the certer of the arc. It is a tight coiled filament that is most intense at the middle of the filament, with slightly diminishing intensity to either end. A filament in an H11 is transversely mounted. Research would have told you one very important, and very inescapable fact: the stock headlight were meant to focus the light from a dual filament based incandescent lightsource.Ī HID burner produces light very differently than an incandescent filament. Hopefully in the summer! Thanks for indirectly confirming my next lighting purchase If Philips could bump up the lumens on that design, it could be killer.įor now though, based on your pics and comparisons, I must try the 4300k HIDs next as it seems to be the perfect combo available on the market now. But it simply doesn't have enough lumens compared to the XD H11s or the H9s. To me it's more like 5200-5500k, and its beam pattern actually matches that of stock perfectly. The Philips Ultinons were more white even though it too were rated 6000k. I live in a part of the country that rains more than half the time, and the bluish 6000k color really kills much of the usable light in wet conditions. The cut-off/beam-pattern with the XD LEDs was good enough, but the one thing that bugged me most with the XD H11 LEDs was the color. Just for fun I also tried the Philips Ultinons even though they were meant for fogs. I have tried stock H11s vs H9s vs the XD H11 LEDs. I have a Sienna but found this thread useful.
