I got the Morimoto D3S 5K bulbs for 70 bucks and they are way better than stock.

What are the stock lumens?

Anything over 5K looks blue to me, then 6500K turns to a purplish.

If I remember right, stock lumens is 4300K and the Morimoto's are 5000K and I do get the white and not the yellowish from stocks.

Strictly speaking, that's color temperature, not luminosity (brightness). Alas, I don't remember which temperature the maximum brightness is at when wattage and efficiency are the same, but then the Morimoto's might be more efficient... we need some actual data

So seems like the Morimoto lights might be the way to go. I wonder if they are brighter than the Osram night breakers and Osram Xenarc CBI. I will look into the Morimoto lights. These are the correct lights right?

I am interested in knowing what the Lumens are as well.

Take a look at this video.

It seems if anything a Morimoto bulb would be a downgrade from an OEM bulb despite being OEM for dodge. The night breaker on the other hand seems like a very solid upgrade!
