It adds 10 watts of lighting so yes, it is really worth it for these cars.

wattage mean jack. in general, more watts means more light, but by, say, tuning the filament composition to get a different color, you could make it consume more power without any difference in the amount of light produced.

In short, a Watt is a measure of the power consumed, a lumen is a measure of how much light is produced. They often go together, but not always. for example, a 25W flourescent bulb produces about the same number of lumens as a 100 watt incandescent.
