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
Vehicle:
BMW
My Limited 2019 WRX has the tracking headlights. It’s actually really helpful (and you realize how helpful they are when you go drive someone else’s car that doesn’t have them).
Pros: really helpful
Vehicle:
Subaru
I went from a base to a limited. Honestly, the headlights are worth it.
Pros: headlights are worth it
Vehicle:
Subaru
I had a set of the blacked out ones on my bugeye for over a year. no issues.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Subaru
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
My final complaint is the very visible outline of the cameras in the headlights. This was hyped to me as another safety feature — that the headlights turn ahead of the car as you turn. I barely notice this. But I notice the weird camera shadow outlines every time I drive at night. All
of this is extremely distracting and dangerous.
Cons: distracting, dangerous
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
I have a 2024 Outback Onyx. The headlights are super bright and I'm always getting flashed as though I have my high beams on when I don't.
Pros: super bright
Cons: getting flashed
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
