I have noticed the same thing, both with the brightness of the lights an the intensity of the turn signals. I actually worry about the brightness of the turn signals annoying drivers in the opposite/oncoming turn lane.

As to your question, I really have no idea - but I have my doubts that are the brightest. I think every headlight design is unique, an the bigger question may be which lights project the farthest down the road. I have heard reports that LEDs don’t project as well at distance as HID lights. I just enjoy them and don’t worry about whose lights are the brightest.

I have the triple beam headlights, they are very bright and light up the road really well. We also have a 2015 Audi Q7 with adaptive HID headlights and they’re no where near as bright as the triple beam headlights. I found that the lights on the NX are aimed pretty low from factory so i adjusted them and now they’re perfect.
