Headlights OEM BMW or OEM Mazda
Finally got around to getting these signature headlights installed. They look soooo good! They are OEM halos and fit perfectly. I’m surprised that there’s no programming involved at all. Everything just works and I guess Mazda made them plug and play. Took about an hour to do the whole thing but definitely worth it!
Pros: look good, fit perfectly
Vehicle:
Mazda
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
I daily my ND3. It's still brand new so I'll see what I have in store as far as reliability and maintenance. I got the soft top club trim. I traded in an 01 Mazda Protege DX for it. I drive at night so I can confidently say that the headlights are by far the best I've had.
Pros: best headlights
Vehicle:
Mazda
First thing I did when I bought mine was swap out the dim eBay halos for some stock replacements. Still in there 12+ years later!
Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle:
Mazda
It\u2019s a nightmare when I drive my 5 at night\u2026 being so low and everyone driving SUV\u2019s the lights just wreck me constantly! Sitting at lights I basically have someone firing a torch directly into my rear view mirror.
Cons: lights wreck me constantly
Vehicle:
Mazda
There is a good chance you can take apart the unit with a heat gun and re-seal it ive done it before on Honda, Toyota, Ford, GM, Dodge... Those headlights are a good $3K a pop new in Canada for OEM BMW.
Pros: can re-seal it
Cons: headlights are expensive
Vehicle:
BMW
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
Vehicle:
BMW
I can tell you that the old school headlights in the Miata suck.
Cons: headlights suck
Vehicle:
Mazda
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
Vehicle:
BMW
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
Vehicle:
BMW
