Can't wait to do the projectors in my MM. Will be nearly complete, will just need to come up with some LED for the tail lights.

Please park a HID projector setup next to a LED reflector setup and show the proof.
LJI372's retrofit will blow away any other Marauder for light output.
Phuq it... LJI372.... I'm going to order an LED drop in set we can put in Silver and we will park it side by side with your 50w morimito Mini D2S retrofit on trilogy and show people what's up.

ask LJI372 about that HEHEHE
Guys, LEDs or HIDs don't forget to add an external relay harness to your project or you will make that 10A amp internal relay suffer the consequences. (LCM premature failure)

Unless you have a bifocal LEDs specific projector array setup, they will not be better than HID. The lack of heat dissipation on a drop in LED bulb which would be bright enough to use as a headlamp would have a short life span. IMO nothing better than a projector HID retrofit... until someone retrofits an LED lamp setup from another vehicle and makes it look good in the MM housing.

Precise feedback I like. You nailed the issues with what people are comparing, no drop in LED can be compared to an OEM LED setup.
In the works....
Corolla LED projector setup... I'd love to do an Acura RDX but that won't fit in the housings.

Here is the problem...
You are bench racing... I have seen side by side in person and researched on the topics. Also there are plenty of forums with measurements of lumens from aftermarket HID. Nothing touches a proper HID setup.
LED plug and play is a cheaper form of upgrade over halogen stock bulbs versus HID retrofit, it's not the best output.
If you don't like the look that is fine... But I assure you NO ONE likes the glare any reflector housing gives off with an aftermarket LED or HID plug and play option in a OEM halogen reflector housing.

Ok, so like the big break -sweep area discussion, I am obviously far far behind the group.
Rest assured though I am enroute to catching up. My infinity M35S Tech, had HID's that turned left and right 3/8 inch or more when the car turned, and that was super cool when driving in dark mountains etc. It also had what I called "grampers lights" that lit the forward corner/side when you used the blinker (who does that anymore?) It also had led spot type lights in overhead that lit up the cup holder consol area (only-no light wash) from above.
Until that car went back on lease, I didn't realize how cool all of these were.
Here is a 3/4 of the new Caddie XTS.
Note these are the convenience lights that stay on when you unlock car from fob, or lock car to exit.
