doubts regarding net's pictures of halogen bulbs...

it's kinda strange for me...but i think some of the pics of our headlights are tricking us...

cameras can also effect images... Need to you the same camera with all the bulbs to see real results.

Looks like a longer exposure for gearbox. Look at how ALL his lights are brighter... even the weakass parking lights.

damn..

if this happened to us (who took picture of our own headlight), i wonder how about those people who sell it...

don't you think they're gonna "touch-up" their image, obviously?

Yeah, I'm gonna go out just for you now and take a new pic from high angle...

Oh and the pic up there is with regular exposure (no flash).

You also have to realize that the light will be brighter when the car is on and making 14.4V instead of just 12V from the battery (when car is off). The pic above is with car on. Also, cool blue is 3800K color.

Okay now here is another pic with the car OFF, so it's not as bright. But you should get the idea. The pic is not touched up.
