The R8 only just gets away with it, otherwise they look trash. (IMO, of course!)
The LS600 does it better than the R8
They look ok on cars designed with/for them.
They look horrid on cars that are clearly too old!!
LEDS way brighter than anything its incandescent bulbs can cope with..

The product itself on OCUK says 4.5W
The Manufacturer claims 5w
The energy ratings claims 6.5w (picture below)
Now, 80% savings i believe is a generic term as nobody is really bothered to do the calculations. If a 5w bulb is saving 80% then it was originally 25w.
Im workin on some calculations regarding lumens and stuff, its actually very complicated..
OK so 425 or 360 lumen's, couldn't figure out what (D) and (W) means
The highest figure there indicates that it is 65 lm/w,
Standard bulbs give you 17 lm/w.. 17 X 25 = 425 lumen's (so a 25w bulb produces equal lumens)
Now leaves last question.. If lumens are equivalent across LED vs CFL vs incandescent etc..
So thats what i've been trying to figure out, all because of your post..
Either way lets multiply it by 2.2 that would mean that it would be the equivalent of a 50w incandescent bulb. For it to make sense it needs to be 4X, and i am not convinced this is even important, as a 5 minute google has not brought up anything about multipliers into it.

I see your R8 and LS600 and raise you an M10

Is that a Thermaltake with wheels?
lol It looks like it! It's the BMW M10. I actually think it's looks great but I can see why some people won't like it.
Imagine looking in your rear view mirror and see that?
All titanium, carbon fibre and aluminim construction. Weighs 1300kgs.
Engine is something stupid like a turbo charged V10 6 litre.
And look at the size of those rear wheels
They have got to be 24" or even 26"
