Here we will go over the light output of the Morimoto XB Assemblies for the 2009-2014 F150 and compare them to the OEM HID as well as many aftermarket options that we typically install.
All shots below of any light output beam pattern were all taken with a Samsung Note 10 Plus with locked settings of F1.5, ISO 50, 1/90 Shudder and WB of 5600K.
All test were done at 12.5V with light output measurements taken from 18ft away. All variations were in the same headlight housing with the same lens minus the Morimoto XB lights.
Up first are the Morimoto XB LED headlights.
If you are interested in some specs and more details surrounding the lights, you can see our product listing HERE.
Now these lights utilize 3 LED projectors for the low beam and use the turn signal location for the new high beam. Which is also LED.
Low Beam (XB) 1565 Max LUX
High Beam (XB) 1137 Max LUX above cutoff
OEM HID Low Beam (OE Osram HBI bulb and Osram 35w Ballast) 1516 Max LUX

These could use a bulb shim to lower the hotspot some and give you a better low beam projection.
