ジェイ 5 my genuine hid failed the car inspection at narashino testing center.the result says that the brightness intensity fell under 9000 lumens.i went home broken hearted and replace it with this and then went back the next week hopes high and passed the test.i like the color it is more white compared to the original. i’m using it for over a month now with no problem or whatsoever.on my visual perception, it seems that it is brighter that the orignal.you can clearly see the cutline, it is important so that it will not produce glare on oncoming vehicles.with its cheap price, i will replace it (every 2 years) before i go and have my car inspected at the testing center.i will update my review if the bulb got busted or if any problem arises.
