About two months ago, I installed a set of Osram Xenarc 66340 CBB lamps that I bought at the Retrofit Source. Before someone jumps on me, they are NOT 7000K on the Kelvin scale as they say on the box. More like 5000K. They are just brighter than the previous Osram CBI version. This is from the Retrofit Resource LUX testing: CBB = 460 Lux, CBH = 415 Lux, CBI = 340 Lux, Standard = 315 Lux. They are working great in the stock adaptive housings on my 2013 LR4. As far as not being as bright as the LR3 housings.... I don't care!!!

There's another thread somewhere here talking about how awesome these are: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JQR2XW...colid=B69VVEP6WT3M&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
I'm in favor of swapping up to LED personally.

There was a thread here somewhere that alluded to that fact. The LR3 housings were made by Bosch while the LR4 were cheaper Valeos. When they redesigned the front end from the 3 to the 4 perhaps that compromised the ideal headlight shape. The lights on the 4 are "sleeker". Anyhow all I know is that with fresh HIDs bulbs in both my LR3 and LR4 the 3 throws better light in low beam. My LR4 has the vision assist pack so auto high beams. That helps but the low beams themselves are not up to what the LR3 is.
