Lightning heads light output

How much better are the Lightning heads in terms of light output? i found a set for $85 from a Lightning near me.

Over stock housing, I'd say about 175-200%.

They don't break up the light like the fluting on the stock housing, therefore giving you a more concentrated area of light.

I love mine, and they aren't even OE.
