Facelift, I have the pre though

Headlights were terrible. OEM plastic units with halogens. No bueno. Ordered the euro glass projectors with HIDs and new clear fogs (also HIDs). Much, Much, MUCH better. Aimed correctly. Light pattern is acceptable. Zero issues with flashing from other drivers.
Pros: Much better light pattern
Cons: terrible OEM headlights

I replaced both of mine with new factory units. They have held up, going on 8 yrs and still look new.
Pros: long-lasting, look new
Cons: expensive

Finally got my hands on some Helix headlights after months of waiting. I couldn't be happier with the results!
Pros: happy with results
I bought [these headlights](https://www.ecstuning.com/b-helix-parts/mk75-style-headlight-set-black-trim/hvwg7hl-75b2~hlx/) with [this LED kit](https://www.ecstuning.com/b-morimoto-parts/d2h-d2s-2-stroke-led-bulb-kit/led1509kt/). So far so great. They look amazing, the LED upgrade is literally night and day. Fitment is good, no issues, and they shipped pretty fast.
Pros: look amazing, good fitment

I have the helix MK7 reps with a generic HID bi-xenon set up. Works just fine. Like other said just make sure its a can bus system.
Pros: works just fine
The Helix/Depo Headlights from urotuning.com were very ascetically pleasing; identical to OEM R32 headlights from afar. The HID kit went in perfectly and were completely installed from start to finish in under an hour. Unfortunately, there was good and bad to the headlights themselves. On both headlights, the cutoff is great, the highbeams are great and they look beautiful installed. The passenger side needed very little adjustment. The driver side needed some slight adjustment to level out; however, a hotspot was extremely present and unadjustable. The hotspot currently points into the opposing lane causing my visibility to be diminished.
Pros: ascetically pleasing, great cutoff
Cons: hotspot unadjustable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
The headlights look like they\u2019re in shock all the time. The only part I\u2019m not a fan of this car.
Cons: headlights in shock
Vehicle:
BMW 1M
My BMW 2020 X7 lease is up and I’d like to do a lease buyout. My right headlight is cracked and BMW won’t repair it. Can I still do a lease buyout with the damaged headlight or will I be charged for that? BMW gave me a repair cost of almost 9k.
Cons: headlight is cracked
Vehicle:
BMW X7
I have a 2019 M240i that gets condensation inside
the driver side headlight when it gets very wet (in a car wash or a very heavy rain- not so much in a light rain). This doesn’t really happen on the passenger side. I saw your response to the other person where you said this would be covered under warranty.
Cons: condensation inside headlight
