Especially since upgrading to ADB (adaptive driving beam) headlights. Dynamic Light Assist (DLA) in VW speak. Best mod ever. If you drive at night, this is a game changer for night vision, spotting deer etc.
Morimotos are designed to have that pattern. It's least blinding to oncoming traffic with higher output from both sides. Excellent quality in my experience.
I have the Morimoto's on my 2020. I am very happy with my Morimoto's and do believe the price is worth it. Aesthetics and uniqueness are important to me, and I am willing to pay a premium to achieve that at the detriment of my wallet. So that gives you an idea of my logic. I will gladly pay more for not having something that's common. The low beams are better than stock, but underwhelming. High beams are amazing. Another con is the serviceability, if something goes out I need to replace the whole assembly, which sucks. Except the blinker of course.
But after watching this I really like the Morimoto headlights, and for half the price of the Alpharex.
Guys, I have successfully retrofitted genuine SEL Premium LED headlights to the car. This was the most challenging retrofit I'd ever done, not because of the wiring, but because of the coding and troubleshooting.
I have the Morimotos, pricey but well worth it.
Gen 2 morimotos, they’re so bright I really don’t even need my light bar anymore
About two weeks ago I installed the Morimoto XB led headlights in my 2017 Pro4x. The Morimoto headlights have a smoked color to the assembly itself, which I'm ambivalent about. They're brighter than OEM but not as bright as I had hoped and not as bright as the Diode Dynamics. Am I happy with them? So far mostly. They're expensive, even with the sale price I got them at. Would I recommend them? Yeah I think but not for the MSRP of $1,100. There aren't a ton of options for improving the awful OEM headlights and Morimoto is known for high quality products.
My Passat's headlights are downright awful. Worst I have had in any car I've owned for sure.
So it looks like VW has stripped away a lot from their 2017 models, mainly the Beetle and Jetta. The GLI is down to one trim and no options again. They even removed the Bi-Xenon headlights.
