Headlights Osram or OEM Mazda
First time removing bodywork, and it was a little finicky, but it all came together (minus one tab). I had a set of trim removal tools that was super helpful. Otherwise just a couple Torx bits, no lift. Took 3h all in.
Pros: super helpful trim tools
Cons: finicky bodywork removal

I went all in with the Osrams from Germany. Doesn't have leveling lights, but definitely a huge upgrade from halogen and the quality is worth the price.
Pros: huge upgrade, good quality
Cons: no leveling lights
I’ve got a pair on my mk6 tsi Just to answer you questions a bit quick:
1. Definitely, but you might need to swap the bulbs to LED as the ones I ordered came without. It gives a much better light than the original headlights.
Pros: better light than original
Cons: bulbs might need swapping

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

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

These are hands down best upgrade for stock halogen headlights. Plug & play - no coding or pinning required.
Pros: best upgrade, plug & play

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

It\u2019s a nightmare when I drive my 5 at night\u2026 being so low and everyone driving SUV\u2019s the lights just wreck me constantly! Sitting at lights I basically have someone firing a torch directly into my rear view mirror.
Cons: lights wreck me constantly

I can tell you that the old school headlights in the Miata suck.
Cons: headlights suck

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
