lux's are not blinding, especially compared to HID's (which in fact are IMO and wash out the stock xenon headlights at night). Also, OEM wattage is nice, but @ 7500K or 8500K the halogen gp thunders can be almost non existent in daylgiht. That being said, you could code the voltage to a higher setting as to get the halogen bulbs a bit brighter (kind of like what the camross elite kit does). Most aftermarket plug and play options are not as bright as OEM LCI led ae's but IMO a good match and far improvement over stock. I've tried almost every plug and play option out there, ended up with GP thunders until lux finally released v3 which is compatible with 2010+ models. Could not be happier with my decision. Notice I said plug and play, not including ls3's or orion rings...
