I know there are several options for HID projector retrofits, but going the route of LED would be unique.
The specs claim they put out... brace yourselves... 17,500 maximum candela (1 candela = 1 lumen, from my understanding). SEVENTEEN THOUSAND. A typical D2S bulb throws out ~3,500. Since these units are fairly large (a bit larger than FX-R projectors), I believe they would work quite nicely in the E46 headlight assemblies (with a bit of elbow grease, hacking, cutting, and JB Weld).
The downside? The price. I've found the low beams for $216 a piece and the high beams for $262 a piece. With that said, you're looking at roughly $1,000 for all four assemblies (assuming you want high beam LEDs as well).
Light output from the Model 8700's seems to be pretty good (there are videos on YouTube), so I can only imagine these would be significantly better.
Just figured I'd toss 'em out there!
