difference between stock lights and bmw conversion? look.
the stock output from the 9004s is about 700 lumens on low beam, and 1200 on high beam.
with the bmw conversion, you'll be usuing 9005 and 9006 bulbs, for your low beam, you'll be usuing 9006, that puts out about 1000 lumens, that's 300 more than your stock lights, and only 200 less than your high beams
when you use your high beams, you'll switch on your 9005s, those put out about 1700 lumens. bright.
all these numbers, depending on the quality control of the bulb are +/- 15%.
here's the stats:
9004 - 700/1200
9005 - 1700
9006 - 1000
all numbers +/- 15%
