vs
Headlights OEM BMW or Tesla
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.
Pros: Much better light pattern
Cons: terrible OEM headlights

I replaced both of mine with new factory units. They have held up, going on 8 yrs and still look new.
Pros: long-lasting, look new
Cons: expensive

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.
Pros: sublime handling, 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...
Pros: looks pretty dope
Cons: doesn't fit contour

Volkswagen Jetta

Just had to replace both headlights for failed DRLs and one for no lamps at all at the tune of 1300. Her window regulator just failed so probably 300 for that.
Pros: Tesla didn't charge labor
Cons: headlights failed, regulator failed
Just got back from a 1200 kms trip in my 2024 bmw x5 m40i.I can confirm that the headlights are bad.Had a nasty sidewall rupture on the front right tyre because I couldn\u2019t see a pothole in the rain at night .
Cons: headlights are bad
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Mileage: 1200 km
BMW does it now as well. Headlight went out. 3300 part another 3000 labor. Found a replacement. And was told it won’t work unless dealer programs it but dealer won’t program unless we buy new from them.
Cons: won't work without programming
Vehicle:
BMW
The headlights look like they\u2019re in shock all the time. The only part I\u2019m not a fan of this car.
Cons: headlights in shock
Vehicle:
BMW 1M
