These are not the type of lights fitted to new Lincolns, Benzes and Lexuses 
(Lexi?).  The real lights use an electrical arc through a gas chamber to create 
light.  These are simply halogen bulbs with dichroic filtering.  That means 
that less light will actually reach the road, as the dichroic material absorbs 
some the of the spectrum to approximate the color of the newer systems.  Since 
standard Halogen bulbs put out a lot of yellow I suspect a LOT of light is 
being filtered.
