I don't know, man. i have a real hard time bringing myself to believe the aftermarket companies would put in enough R&D to match or surpass the OEM headlight efficiency. Especially with projectors.

Each and every reflector within the headlight is precisely positionned in order to interact with the other reflectors and project the best intensity of light, based on its position towards different parts of the bulb.

And as far as smoked projector lenses go, well don't fool yourselves, the smoke filters out the light, so no matter what bulb you put in there, you'll get less output than you would in an OEM non-smoked headlight.

Heh, if you have time and money, just go to the city where they are holding your local Hot Import Nights event, and go to either the street races that night, or just step outside the event and your bound to see TONS of examples, take my word for it.

As for light intensity, those im sure are similar in quality to denji's, and if they are anything like the black housing projectors i got to retrofit hid's into, they are bound to have a few bubbles in them as well. They are no brighter than stock, minus some light.
