So out of boredom tonight I decided to do a little shootout.
We compared the OEM LED headlights against the Morimoto XB LED Headlights (v1) against the Morimoto XB LED Headlights (v2).
We did this in a controlled, highly secure and scientific testing facility. Complete with real-time weather abilities. Okay... so it was in my driveway, at 7pm at night in 45 degree weather with leaves blowing around. Whatever
But the shops 16' alignment banner is buried behind old storage racks at the warehouse and I had a lot of people asking for some data.
So the nitty gritty.
At 25' the OEM LED Headlights put out 570 lux.
At 25' the Morimoto XB LED Headlights (v1) put out 950 lux.
At 25' the Morimoto XB LED Headlights (v2) put out 1490 lux.
So yeah... there's a HUGE difference between the new Morimotos and your factory OEM LED.
For those who don't know, v1 references the XB Headlights for the Gen2 Raptors sold before the Summer of 2020. Right around that time they came out with their new versions, the v2. Or as they call it Generation 2/2nd Generation/V2.
I threw some high beams hots in as well. You can see how clear the cut-off is on the Morimotos compared to the stock OEM LED (and it's amazing, how Ford won awards for their LED Headlight design).
The new Morimotos ARE currently out of stock until January 2021 so if you want to secure a set, better order them now: https://www.4x4truckleds.com/morimoto-xb-led-headlights-for-2017-ford-f150-raptor/
As always, if anybody has questions about these, let me know.
