The 2nd gen BRZ definitely had the best headlights out of any car I've owned or driven.
I just came across new headlights made by Hella which are look alike VW MK5 versions and installed one to test the beam pattern on my GTI337. It appears that VW MK5 versions are newer one and due to that fact are engineered to put more light on the road. There is no visible cut out in a beam pattern like on OEM versions, but the MK5 look alike seem to be winning on my check list.
In the last year I bought a 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness and people flash their high beams at me all the time. I’m sure they are always quite shocked when I flash them back and they realize it’s just my normal headlights.
My Subaru Outback actually came equipped with laser beams - I know this because I commonly get people flashing at me to turn off my brights (and for shits and giggles I flash back)
There are no alternatives. It\u2019s OEM Hella or Chinese crap. There are no options in the middle. There used to be DJ Autos but have been long discontinued.\n\nGet a set of Hellas. Restore them. It\u2019s the best option and you\u2019ll have great headlights for life
significantly better than the Sylvania OE ones for light output, but with an OE style cutoff so you don’t blind other drivers.
i have the hellas; im extremely satisfied with their quality and output
I bought the hella retrobrights in classic white. I don't like the modern look of these.
I came to reddit to make sure I wasn't crazy. 2025 Impreza. I just got it and had it out at night for the first time last night. Same exact issues. Very odd cutout on the road in front of me. Very distracting.
I decided to Google the 2025, Subaru. Crosstrek headlights, because mine have these black circles that show up on low beams. It is so distracting and so annoying, and my low beams look so low, that straight ahead is not bright at all.
