Yea I wish I knew the lumens on these DD bulbs but I guess I can email them and ask. The thing about those CBI bulbs is I do mostly all city driving so I can't justify paying 200 for bulbs when there is street lights every 100 feet that really dull out the lights anyway.

All D2S bulbs, by law, are required to output at least 3,000 lumens.

Our bulbs are higher quality and will easily exceed that output. However, brightness is mainly determined by the ballast

What do you have to say about the fact that my drivers side bulb usually takes about 3 to 4 times to fire up??? Should I give them some time???

On our site we removed the listings for 2011+ G models due to issues with the factory ballasts. If your G is pre-2011 you shouldn't be having that issue.

It's also possible that your factory ballasts may need to be checked.

Give us a call and we can provide you with more information: (314) 205-3033

So I did some more research and it seems the Matsu****a ballast that nissan/Infiniti uses are picky about aftermarket bulbs to use which is why I'm having the firing issue right now. The new xb35s they just came out with said to be able to work with our ballast so I have them coming in now. Will update on those once I get them in
