The problem is, the further away from white color, the less those lumens help. You have the same amount of light, but its a different color, slightly, so you cant actually SEE the road as much. At least that's how I look at it. Either way its much better than stock. Halogen 9006 bulbs are 1000 lumens. But I have the 9005's in there at 1700 lumens I believe.
