I can buy an entire second hand car for the cost of an audi matrix headlight. I can see fine out of my classic headlight (€229 for complete brand new saab 900 headlight at r&d carparts). It is real glass so it never fades and a fresh bulb is litterally a couple cents.
I swapped my wife's headlight on her Mazda CX-5 after she hit a deer at <30mph. Surprisingly the damage was just to the headlight and a few small cracks on her bumper. $500 great condition ebay headlight swap and looks like new.
Finally got around to getting these signature headlights installed. They look soooo good! They are OEM halos and fit perfectly. I’m surprised that there’s no programming involved at all. Everything just works and I guess Mazda made them plug and play. Took about an hour to do the whole thing but definitely worth it!
Though in my opinion, it's not the best looking Audi headlight. Although functionally/technologically inferior to this, my vote goes to B8 A4 HID headlights with that curved row of individual LEDs. It was characterful, and had exquisite design elements inside of it that worked in harmony with the lines that travelled around the car. Headlights in cars of that era were simple and boring and at best consisted of a round projector and another reflector for high beams plus indicators. B8 A4's HID lights were at a totally different level and shouted style and luxury. With these lights Audi started the game of DLR and using it as a design signature.
Peak Audi headlights are the S5 B8.5 headlights.
So peak that even aftermarket headlights for other cars call them "Audi style headlights" just like the Ferrari style or Lamborghini style headlights.
They are so iconic and unique that you see them and you immediately think audi.
Crazy smooth. Not as much pick up as the X5 (because of the electric part of the engine) I was looking at first but once the turbo kicks in it sound and feels great. Turbo lag is a drag. By the way I did the headlight upgrade. Definitely worth it
I honestly like these more than my C7.5 RS7 headlights. They are almost identical but the way it curves upwards on the inboard sides is nicer.
It\u2019s a nightmare when I drive my 5 at night\u2026 being so low and everyone driving SUV\u2019s the lights just wreck me constantly! Sitting at lights I basically have someone firing a torch directly into my rear view mirror.
I had to lower the angle of my mazda's headlights. Out of the factory, they were way too high and directly shining into other car's cabins
I can tell you that the old school headlights in the Miata suck.
