Lights with tint to them (unless you get true HID), will be dimmer at the same output level (wattage) than stock lights. This is because certain wavelengths of light are blocked to get the blue tint. If you run a high wattage bulb (e.g. 100 watts), you run a serious risk of melting your harness, etc. I wouldn't take that chance if it was my car.

Also, projectors will have worse light output than stock.
