Headlights Osram or OEM FORD
I've swapped headlights and retrofitted on every car i've owned, mostly to HID's but for this car I went with the OSRAM's from europe. Yes, it's a little more expensive, but the performance and easy install was worth it for me.
Pros: performance, easy install
Cons: a little more expensive

These are hands down best upgrade for stock halogen headlights. Plug & play - no coding or pinning required.
Pros: best upgrade, plug & play
Part number: LEDHL-109-GTI-LHD
I bought two sets of aftermarket headlights to replace my halogen lights on my mk6 gti. 2nd pair were from “osram” and were much better than the spyders but still didn’t compare to stock as far as brightness goes. My advice, splurge on OEM replacement HID’s or keep them stock. If you are set on changing them I would highly recommend OSRAM. They are from Germany and made very well!
Pros: made very well
Cons: didn’t compare to stock

Last year I installed a new set of Osram LEDriving headlights in my '17 Golf SportWagen to replace the crappy stock halogen units. I ordered them from a vendor with Germany and they were not cheap ($1000) but totally worth it. The difference in light output is significant and they also look really sharp and modernize the front end of the car.
Pros: significant light output, sharp look
Cons: expensive

Osrams are pricey, but worth it.
Pros: worth it
Cons: pricey
I bought them almost a year ago they are doing great they are extremely pricey but I have gone through two other brands of headlights and both of them have failed. I finally ponied up the money and I have not regretted buying them they are amazing quality.
Pros: amazing quality, doing great
Cons: extremely pricey

So, I opened my headlights on my 17. It is like others have said a painful process. Main reason is because the factory glue sealing the headlights is very difficult to melt, I had to bake my lights for quite a while to get it to loosen up. And even then the factory glue is basically impossible to get all the way off. Putting it back together isn\u2019t bad, I know some people have condensation issues but I\u2019ve never had any issues with that, plus from the factory there are already drain holes/air holes in the housing anyways.
Pros: drain holes from factory
Cons: painful process, difficult glue

Ford
I hate that my 2016 Focus needs to go to the dealership for recoding just to replace the damn headlights.

I have had my Osram headlights installed for over 3 weeks. I am very very disappointed in the light out put of these. I am going to say that the stock halogens where much brighter (lumen wise).
Cons: disappointed in light output
