LED Headlights - Poor Range

Hi, I have just got myself a c class convertible with LED High Performance Headlights and I must say I am disappointed with them, they have a very poor range and seem under powered

how can I find out if this is normal or if they are faulty, apart from taking the car to a dealer?

Compared to Today's Later Model Vehicles ~ The Headlights aren't as High Tech as far as Headlights go

The " range ", to me seems decent enough though

But if I get in other newer cars in the Family Fleet ~ especially those with auto dim that shine bright on reflective road signs automatically, and have " newer " LED technology ~ yeah, I can see where you may be concerned

Hop in an older vehicle with older HID headlights and you'll think yours are just fine afterwards

First, check if they're aimed correctly. Park on level ground facing a wall at night. The cutoff line should be sharp and level. If it's pointing at the ground, they're aimed too low.
If the aim is good, then they might be faulty. LEDs shouldn't be weak. Another owner with the same car is your best bet to compare.
