I too don't understand what you're asking completely. If you're asking if those bulbs compare to HID, I'd say doubtful. Maybe the XXX vs XX would be marketing, maybe its brighter. Hard to say looking at that site.

woops, sorry guys, I didnt even proof read my post, spelling mistakes everywhere. I even called them fartboys!!! hahaaaa

I was looking around on the web, and there was an XXX series, which is newer than the XX series (ie the X51 fatboys) there is now an XX55 fatboy which is 4800K H4. See the link below:

I cant exactly find these anywhere else though. Does anyone know more? Im thinking that if I can get a hold of these newer ones, il just take back my x51 fatboys as I havent opened them yet.

Well I took a look at your link again, and it looks to me like the X4 is the way to go..its brighter than both the XX and XXX. Why not get one of those? I had these types of lights in my Honda and they are brighter and nicer than stock lights. I'll be interested to hear how your results are.

I may be missing it, but those look like they're H4 bulbs. Our JKs have H13 bulbs. Will those even work?

I was wondering that myself, but he was only asking about the XX vs XXX.

Those look very interesting. I wonder if they're only available in Japan?
