Headlights OEM BMW or Morimoto
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.
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.
But after watching this I really like the Morimoto headlights, and for half the price of the Alpharex.
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
If you want to spend the money or wait and save, I have morimotos and love them. Especially since they came out with Amber DLR version
I replaced both of mine with new factory units. They have held up, going on 8 yrs and still look new.
Morimoto will give you the best light output, but quality has been hit or miss over the last few years.
I got these lights a little over two years ago. One light had the led plank go out. Got it replaced under warranty but still have to go through the hassle of removing it and shipping it. They also charged my cc for the replacement light until they received my faulty one then refunded me. Second light had a bad shake when going over bumps. Turns out it was the shutters the projectors use. After I got that replaced under warranty I just sold off the set at a loss and went with alpharex.
I was just in this predicament, I went with the morimotos and have regretted every dollar spent. Ill spare the details, some of it was warranty process, some was quality control, burning the end the product just isnt great. At best its OK at lighting but a huge appearance upgrade - which is why I think most people rate them so high.
