Found this posted on another forum.

A user on the Forester forum just posted these pictures (rehosted) of his 2015 Forester halogen headlight (reflector based) output with OEM H11 halogen bulb and then with VLED's LMZ LED headlight bulb that is claimed to have an output of 4500 lumens. He had this to say about it (emphasis mine):

Here are the pictures:

lol his cut off on his stock lights are really good... my aftermarket ebay clear headlights already scatter the light as bad as the bottom picture

Is there any members or someone out there to recommend to do a projector retro on my '03 Silvy headlights? Even if I did the work of opening mine up and clearing the reflectors and such. I seen the pictures that James Pate did with that Long Shot Lighting kit on his Silvy. Would that be a good route to go with?

You could send them to Phil at Fast Headlights and he'd get them all set for ya.

PIAA headlight bulbs like to burn out fast so just be careful.

Philips CrystalVision bulbs are the best halogens I have ever run. They were whiter then silverstars and lasted for almost 5 years. They were almost matched my 5000K HIDs when I had them in the fogs but when you looked at the truck they were slightly yellow. When the headlights go out in my wife's car its going to get the Crystals. Or im going to find some LTZ headlights and do a retro.

Any stores carry those Philips bulbs? Or online only?

Like Chris said, Phil does awesome work. If you want to tackle it yourself I'd go with the mini D2S projectors.

O'Riley's used to carry them but not any more. Best price I have seen for them is Amazon. Whats nice about them is they are STOCK wattage ( so suck it Ginger and Khaos )

Got a deal through a friend who specializes in off-road recoveries that I couldn't refuse :cheeky:

Where you going to mount it? 20" is the biggest that will fit in the bumper.
