vs
Headlights Bosch or OEM Chevrolet
Reviews
On my 2012 Cruze: I pulled into a gas station during a snow event to manually clean buildup off my headlights and the base of the wipers.
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Cruze
Had a 1975 Merc a few years ago and I swear the Bosch headlights were original
Pros: original, durable
You have late Bosch headlights, in Europe they came with plastic diffusers, ZKW headlights and Bosch headlights with projectors had glass ones.
Vehicle:
BMW
Definitely not the most popular choice but I had beat oem headlights and couldn\u2019t see a damn thing and you\u2019re not gonna catch me spending $500+ for bosch\u2019s just to be oem+ that don\u2019t improve visibility. Honestly pretty happy with the look and I really like the taillights.
Pros: happy with the look
Cons: not the most popular
Ended up finding someone on marketplace, set me up with a solid used set of Bosch headlights for a good price.
Pros: good price
Low beams on the bolt are good. High beams are great. I have no issue with visibility at night.
Pros: good low beams, great high beams
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Bolt
I think they're shit. The tabs started snapping off a light as it was sitting on my kitchen table.
Cons: tabs started snapping
I'm a paramedic and we drive the chevy Demers ambulances. The headlights are extremely poor and unsafe to the point where i think demers/chevy is becoming legally negligent. Driving out to a suburban/outskirt town for a nightshift in my new car and then hopping into an ambulance to do a transfer back to the city and im like leaning over the steering wheel squinting to see the road at dusk, its such a stark contrast in headlight performance and throw.
Cons: extremely poor, unsafe
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
I have bosche oem lights and they have very poor performance at night.
Cons: poor night performance
My 2023 is not any better. I hit a deer last winter and when I switched back to my truck for a few months it was so apparent how bad the lights were. I would have seen the deer with my truck, but not with the low beams on my Bolt.
Cons: bad low beams, poor visibility
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Bolt
