i am not sure about 10w, because the new AIB's are rated at 10W and they are insanely brighter than stock

exactly. Rating LEDs at 3W, 10W, 6W doesnt mean anything that much more. It doesnt provide the lumens. All angel eyes are approximately brightnes but of course a 6W angel eye is brighter than a 3W.
