"10,000 lumens" LOL. That's brighter than the $8,000 per side BMW laser headlights on the M8. Currently for any retrofit, HIDs still output more light per watt than LEDs will and will have a better beam pattern. LEDs are more like 2,000-3,000 lumens best case.

I also ordered new headlight assemblies because mine were in such bad shape.

Why was there flicker? I installed the Xenondepot HID kit (the better bulbs w/ power relay) many years ago, not one issue since install.
