I can't wait to see your Triton once they're installed. haha. Where are you installing them?
Tritons ... you'll have to wait for the review . . . nah, they're going in the front turn signal location - 6k white/amber switchbacks. Until I have time to research and crack open my Winjets again (or if someone wants to sell their Monograms headlights lol) I've disabled DRL, and will probably run the Tritons as DRL instead.

Looked quickly last night - looks like the red are part of the "Platinum" series. I need to find some good output shots of those in clear lens housings as I'm not too concerned about stated lumen output as much as I am about configuration. Example - I recently ordered the ACME Red Rocket's from TRS (rated at 272 lumens) since they have a down/backward firing configuration vaguely similar to the Philips Vision and Ultinon. compared them to my 75 lumen imported Ultinon's (75!?!? that's it??!) annnnd . . . the ACME's were just a tiny bit brighter than the Ultinon's
Fitment is also a bit of an issue.

The HVA's and the Platinums look like they use a brute force method; which can have it's advantages
