This output comparison will cover the OEM LED headlights used in the 2015-2020 F150s and the OEM LEDs found in the 2017-2019 Super Duty.
These headlights use the same LED optics for the low beam and the high beam. They are just used in different housings.
For our testing we used an OEM LED light from a 2017-2019 Super Duty. The light they are compared to will be the 2020+ Super Duty Morimoto XB but these will have the same output as the 2015-2020 F150 Gen 2 XBs and the 2017-2019 Super Duty Gen 2 XBs.
All Of these XBs use the latest Kuria Optic LED Projectors (4x) with two being Bi-LED which provide the high beam pattern.
Testing Parameters:
Constant Battery Voltage: 15VDC
Camera: Samsung S21 Ultra using the 3x Telephoto Lens with Locked Settings of 5000K WB, -0.7 EV, 1/30 Shudder Speed, and an ISO of 100.
Distance: 25FT
A Lux Meter will be used at 3 Test Points on the Test Wall along with capturing the highest reading from the hotspot of the beam pattern.
TP1 (Test Point 1) will be in the center of the output wall.
TP2 to the left of the wall and TP3 to the right of the wall. Each seen in the photos as a small circle just below the horizontal line.
OEM LED Low Beam Output:
TP1: 397 LUX Max Output: 472 LUX TP2: 42 LUX TP3: 48 LUX
Morimoto XB Gen 2 Low Beam Output:
TP1: 1470 LUX Max Output: 1755 LUX TP2: 109 LUX TP3: 89 LUX
OEM LED High Beam Output:
TP1: 1313 LUX Max Output: 1507 LUX TP2: 64 LUX TP3: 57 LUX
Morimoto XB Gen 2 High Beam Output:
TP1: 1850 LUX Max Output: 2050 LUX TP2: 110 LUX TP3: 91 LUX
In Conclusion:
XB Low Beam Max output improvement of 372% over the OEM LED with much more hotspot and width.
XB High Beam Max output improvement of 36% over the OEM LED and a larger hotspot.
