Headlights OEM BMW or OEM Chevrolet
This is why I got the 2019 model. The lines are far more aggressive in my opinion. Really appreciate the hexagonal look. Beautiful little details that really tie the car together.
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.
I replaced both of mine with new factory units. They have held up, going on 8 yrs and still look new.
I loved riding the BMW. I don't know what they did or how they did it, but the handling was sublime, using nearly the same suspension components as the SV. I just felt so confident riding it. It had all the power I needed, brakes that saved my arse more than once and was an absolute joy to ride - whether it was to work or to the Netherlands. It sipped fuel (70mpg @ 70mph!), never needed faffing about with the chain and had a bloody decent headlight.
I tried/am trying to fit a set of E36 lights into my jetta. They are a bit wider, and shorter than the stock headlights. You would need a hood spoiler to fill the gap above the headlight, you would need to make a custom spacer to fill the gap between the headlight and the fender, you would have to cut up the headlight, the radiator support, and part of the inside of the fender. I got one light to \"fit\" and it looks pretty dope, but it doesn't fit the contour (sp) of the car, they are more square and flat than the stock lights. Oh and you would have to make the brackets to mount the lights to the car. Quite a PITA for something that looks kind of cool, but doesn't quite fit right...
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.
Did I mention that I just bought a Chevy Colorado...with reflector headlight housings...lol. Literally had my first spat of extensive overnight driving this past weekend, and I could not believe how terrible the headlights were. Driving through Tennessee at night was nerve racking. Glad to see that I'm not nuts......
Man, i hate those type of headlights. They fog up, they leak, they break and they look cheap.
they look like crap imo. too many gaps on the side, top, bottom etc... they just don't look like they belong. that and you have to bootleg the install just to hide everything. shouldn't have to be like that. keep it clean.
