I have a car with HIDs and another with Halogens, both using projectors (the same projectors even). The difference is night and day. Lots of the so called "premium" bulbs in the US are tinted and actually REDUCE lumens while changing color tempt so it looks brighter. Clear bulbs are the best for light output in terms of lumens (for HIDs and Halogens).
