Cons: prefer the f87

So the headlights on my BMW are so much better than headlights I’ve had in previous cars. They illuminate the road so much better.
Pros: illuminate road better
Vehicle:
BMW
Being that you went with the EU spec (recently just bought a pair from an EU model and had chat GPT verify the part numbers lmao) is there any issues with OTA updates?
Literally today I am putting my repaired headlight back in my F10. Was worse than yours, but started off looking like yours. Eventually I started getting faults for the headlight as water contaminated the electrics.
Cons: water contaminated electrics
Vehicle:
BMW
Low beams on the bolt are good. High beams are great. I have no issue with visibility at night.
Pros: good low beams, great high beams
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Bolt
Here\u2019s one, my 21 BMW 218 has quite high dims. I regularly get flashed to dim my light when they are dimmed. There is no dial / setting on the car that I\u2019m aware of to adjust this. I asked BMW and they said I\u2019d need to leave it in (which will cost \u20ac300 or something ridiculous).
Pros: high dims, regularly flashed
Cons: no setting to adjust

I bought a used 2021 BMW 5 series. I live in a rural area without streetlights, so it’s pitchblack on curvy 50mph roads lined with trees dropping limbs and large animals crossing. These headlights are dangerous. Can’t see without my high beams, yet there are oncoming cars every 3 seconds. I’m left driving blind half the time.
Cons: dangerous, poor visibility, needs high beams

I'm a paramedic and we drive the chevy Demers ambulances. The headlights are extremely poor and unsafe to the point where i think demers/chevy is becoming legally negligent. Driving out to a suburban/outskirt town for a nightshift in my new car and then hopping into an ambulance to do a transfer back to the city and im like leaning over the steering wheel squinting to see the road at dusk, its such a stark contrast in headlight performance and throw.
Cons: extremely poor, unsafe
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
Can't believe this is a "sealed unit" that managed to get condensation inside from driving through a puddle. What is BMW's QC coming to?
Cons: condensation inside, poor quality control

My wife\u2019s 2020 118i headlight had the yellow issue in one. Non-dealer bmw shop quoted us $3,500 but we had to do both for $7,000. About 50% of the residual value of the car, for a yellow headlight.
Cons: yellow issue
