LED Scheinwerfer sind nicht das Problem. Falsch eingestellte Scheinwerfer aber schon.

Pros: packed very well

I swapped my wife's headlight on her Mazda CX-5 after she hit a deer at <30mph. Surprisingly the damage was just to the headlight and a few small cracks on her bumper. $500 great condition ebay headlight swap and looks like new.
Pros: headlight looks like new
Vehicle:
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

I use to use the expensive Sylvania forget which one but they we're pricey. Posted on here several months ago and someone recommended the Osram night breaker 220 h4. They we're $29 but now up to $35 they are way brighter that the Sylvania I was using.
Pros: way brighter
Cons: pricey
On the Osrams... I put a set on my 2017 GSW S about a year ago, and have been very happy. They're not as bright as the top-end LEDs that are on cars like Teslas, but they crush the old halogens for brightness, have good cutoff and color, don't vibrate or flicker, etc.
Pros: good cutoff and color
Cons: not as bright as LEDs

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
Yeah the headlights may be the single most replaced part on this car. Their reliability drags the rest of the vehicle down. At least it’s not powertrain.
Cons: reliability drags vehicle down
Vehicle:
Mazda
It was a terrible headlight design with a built in fan that failed very quickly, so it's believable that they are short on them.
Cons: terrible design, fan failed
Vehicle:
Mazda
Maintenance after 5 years warranty is expensive. Parts are pricey and hard to come by. 1 bnew headlight alone can cost you 6 digits.
Cons: pricey headlight, hard to come by
