Headlights OEM Mazda or OEM Volvo
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
Hey there. Wanted to comment on this as I noticed the same thing on my '22 when I bought it.\n\nThis is normal. DO NOT TAKE THEM APART!\n\nWhat you are seeing is the line between the high and low beam LED arrays in your headlight. The new design in '22 made big improvements to the headlight performance and this line is a result of that.\n\nI agree it is somewhat distracting but the new design having more LEDs available for the high beams makes a huge difference in how well they light up the road when they are on.
Pros: more LEDs available
Cons: somewhat distracting
Vehicle:
Mazda
Buy a used headlight using the part number that you can find on the headlight (under the bonnet, remove plastic cover that sits above the headlight). In Europe you can get full LED adaptive headlights for 300-350 EUR used. No programming necessary after installation.
Pros: No programming necessary
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
This guy is laughing at the end of the day, your fancy active bending Thors Hammer lights are easily $2,500 each when they break.
Cons: expensive to replace
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
I had to lower the angle of my mazda's headlights. Out of the factory, they were way too high and directly shining into other car's cabins
Cons: aimed too high, blinding others
Vehicle:
Mazda
I can tell you that the old school headlights in the Miata suck.
Cons: headlights suck
Vehicle:
Mazda
Unfortunately due to stupid decisions at Volvo Xc40 lacks of one of best features of larger brothers. Headlights don't turn. As per Volvo it's a small economy level car.
Cons: headlights don't turn
Vehicle:
Volvo
I drive a Mazda2. The sheer joy of having those big "trucks" behind me at night is amazing. I need sunglasses at 8pm because those fuckers are brighter than the sun. Cop it in the side mirrors and the rear view mirror.
Cons: brighter than the sun
Vehicle:
Mazda 2
