Did you mean to be quoting me or him?

In case you did mean to be quoting me, the LEDs will not out perform the HIDs. This is a common complaint among high end cars like with the optional LED headlights on the Porsche 911; sure, they look unique, but the HIDs will have better illumination and penetration. Don't believe me? Here is a quote from TRS to a reply in the comments of their Youtube video:

Quote:
Charles Lin ...Hey TRS, how's the light output compare to say D2S 4.0 with CBI bulb. Roughly speaking... Because the website says ~2600lm for the LED, and ~3400lm for the HID bulb.

TheRetrofitSource Inc ...The D2S 4.0 with CBI would be the performance winner here
