From Xenon AHL to...?

Hobbs64 · 09-19-2020, 06:22 PM

Has anyone switched for xenon AHL's to some form of LED headlight that they like, or doesn't look ricey. I think the xenon AHL's are over-priced unreliable junk, but what works in their place?

I think any non-OEM headlight is ricey or looks and feels like junk, but that's just my opinion.

I put the OEM Pre-LCI xenons from my 330 on my 325 and put LCI xenons on my 330. The LCI lights look better but the adaptive projectors are unreliable junk and shake around over big bumps. I made sure everything is connected properly on the adjusters and nothing is broken, but they still shake around, so when driving over really bumpy roads I can see the cutoff line bouncing.

Eventually I want to open up the LCI lights and replace the adaptive projectors with a fixed projectors.
