I'm too lazy to replace my Hikari LEDs I already installed since you have to remove the whole dang grill, but I stumbled upon a great resource that has a nice consistent projector and reflector rig to do thorough testing of all the popular bulbs out, so you can truly compare them apples to apples: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QWfp96joZuuu9OJqaf5KeXbxPMylCwBm/edit#gid=587956558

And to save you some effort, I've done some research and learned that the new 2022 Hikaris are really no better than the ones from a couple years ago, with pretty much identical performance. So you can compare the 2022 Hikari's from his review to that of older Hikaris as well. Auxito Y13 are the ones he seems to really like for the value, cooling ability, decent light, and beam pattern (and I did recently install these with matching fogs on my sister's Explorer with good results), but the most interesting that you might want to check out are the new Beninsee V45. One of the few that actually meets its specifications and the output is pretty insane compared to all the others tested to date including the Hikari:

If I were in the market now, I'd grab a pair from Amazon to test out since its only $50 and free returns.
