this may sway the vote a little with a direct comparison. my old PNP 6000k vs. TSX

It would be a better comparison if it was on the same road.

Got a chance to do a little test myself yesterday

I dont have any 4300k 9006 kit bulbs so I used the ones I had, we are not judging the intensity here but indeed are looking for light dispersement and overall beam pattern.

I am using a halogen bowl pulled out of a 2GS headlight.

3000k after market 9006 kit bulbs

compared with

TSX clear lensed projector and AP1 S2000 clear lensed projector, bulb used was an old colorshifted Osram bulb. I didnt want to use 85122+ Phillips bulbs for the projectors since they are way more brighter than the Osrams hence many people who are kit biased would have said its a bad comparison. Again the point that I am trying to prove is not intensity but the overall beam pattern and evenness of light output, I'll let you guys be the judge .

First off, 3000k bulbs with less than one hours worth of usage in 2GS halogen bowls.







Now the TSX with Osram bulb





and finally the mighty S2k
