Default Lumens ratings with LED's
This is an awesome YT channel if you've never seen it before. In these two videos they measure the Lumens of various LED headlight bulbs and compare to the advertised number. As you'll see, some of them are completely ridiculous and others, that do have a high lumens output, have a horrible light dispersion pattern.

Since a lot of folks are looking to switch to LED bulbs for their 928's, I figured such information might be helpful.

Ditto!
Thanks for sharing. I just forwarded to my son because he's replacing the HIDs on his old Lexus IS250.
This makes him more informed

Hi,
I found this new Philips H3 LED with very small Backside for our Cars.
13 w Power consumption against 55 W is also an real improvement.

It's a very tight fit but for a good light Output you need the cooling Fan!

Latest Philips Ultinon is first LED worth installing into old H3 headlight. All previous LED's have too large shape and wrong light pattern.

Will they fit in the fogs without moving the shield?
