vs
Headlights OEM BMW or OEM FORD
I hit a deer with an X5 and except for a small piece of missing trim, you couldn't even tell from 10ft away and it was over $10k. One headlight was replaced because the lower mounting tabs on it were broken.
Pros: repaired like new
Cons: expensive repair
Vehicle:
BMW X5
I like it both ways. The twins give it a more sporting/race vibe, and the chrome singles are classic and charming. Good thing it is an interchangeable part!
Pros: sporting/race vibe
Cons: classic and charming
Looks way better imo

The DRL on my passenger headlight partially died (one of the vertical strips on the outside of the lamp stopped working) about a month ago. Took it to the dealer and they had a new headlight installed within the week under bumper to bumper.
Pros: headlight installed under warranty
Cons: DRL partially died

We had the same issue on my wifes 22 explorer limited.
Dealership had it for a full day and traced the issue to a bad ground causing a power draw in one of the headlights and it was replaced under warranty.
Pros: headlight replaced under warranty
Cons: bad ground, power draw

My BMW has had very few engine issues…what it has had is a lot of weird and very expensive high tech issues…for example one of the day time running lights went bad because moisture got into the circuit board…this requires a new headlight fixture which was $4k…I just don’t use the DRLs anymore…expect these types of problems to slowly kill your soul
Pros: few engine issues
Cons: expensive high tech issues
Vehicle:
BMW
Bad quality plastic. Mine are same on the inside, it looks like a million tiny cracks. I'd say it's due to age and wear.
Pros: due to age and wear
Cons: bad quality plastic
Vehicle:
BMW
I looked at a BMW 7-series with them years back. I spotted tons of issues with it (dynamic headlights fault was one that stuck out in my memory) but they just brushed them off as "They all do that. It's just because it's not been driven for a while".
Cons: dynamic headlights fault

BMW
