@Mike_DThanks for the shout out. I am very pleased with the Lasfit D5S-LED conversion.

Thanks @fondupot, i meant to ask you how they are holding up for you. You dont by chance have your headlights tinted do you?

 

If i'm doing the math right... Then the stock headlights are 2000 lumens total (1k per bulb). After applying the 20% tint to the headlights, that means they are now only 400 lumens. If I upgraded to the 35w HID's which are 3000 lumens without tint (1500 per bulb), then they would be 600 lumens with the tint, still not even half way to stock! 

 

Now with the Lasfit being 10,000 lumens total (5k per bulb), that would mean that while tinted, 2000 lumens would make it through (1k per bulb), which matches the stock lights without tint. Did i botch my math? If not, then the Lasfit's are going to be absolutely perfect (until a fan dies)!

They are holding up great. No issues.

 

I do not have any headlight tint. Your math sounds right, but tint may add some more scattering of the light as well as reduced lumen output. 

 

But if you want the best output....nix the headlight tint. My 2 cents.

Eventually i'll get rid of the tint when i upgrade my headlights to something thats black inside. That'll get rid of my need to black out the headlights.

 

Either way, glad they are still working well, cant wait to install mine and see how well it works!
