The light source is "High-Power LED" like this. This is "Luxeon Star" made by Lumileds.
This High-Power LED is about 140 times as bright as the usual LED.
Ex. )
Usual LED, "NICHIA NSPW-500BS"
Brightness: 9,200mcd(candela), Power: 0.72W(3.6V/20mA)
High-Power LED, "Luxeon Star LXHL-LW3C"
Brightness: 65lm(lumen), Power: 2.59W(3.7V/700mA)
65lm is 1,300,000mcd when Lumen is converted into Candela. (at viewing angle 10 degrees with "Collimator Lens".)
How bright it is!!
The right side is "BMW Genuine Bulb" and the left side is "White LED Bulb" which I made.
It consists of an aluminum pipe, an aluminum bar, and many aluminum L angles.
The aluminum L angles have a function as a heat-sink.

This is a comparison with the Genuine Bulb.
The right side is "BMW Genuine Bulb" and the left side is "White LED Bulb".
How do you feel?
The color tone of the Genuine Bulb looks "Yellow-White", but the LED Bulb looks "Cool-White" like HID.
Furthermore, I would like you to observe, the LED Bulb keeps the same brightness as the Genuine Bulb.

I've been trying to mod the angel eyes with CCFL tubes/rings. Do you know how your High Powered LEDs compare with CCFL?
I know for a fact that the CCFL are brighter (and whiter) than normal LED setups.
Thanks.
