Default projectors brightness?

Does anyone notice a difference with the projector headlights on their 5th gen accord? just wondering because i have HID;s right now and i want to get them brighter. so are projectors worth the investment?

Also, get the correct color temperature. Plllllease don't get them because they look blue. Blue light is less intense than white light. You're trying to mimick daylight, which off the top of my head, is around 4200 K.

i have the xenon HID kit with the hella bulb. I'm thinking that if i switch out the purple bulb with the white ones, that i can mkae it brighter. Also, does anyone know what type of bulb goes in the JDM Accord headlights. I'm thinking i might just get those if the projectors won't improve my lighting.

yeah the 4300kelvins put out the MOST useable visable light, like the closest to actual sunlight (mostly in the yellow wavelengths)
