Headlight Upgrade Before and After

I have to say, I feel like I just bought a brand spanking new car. LED is so bright and sharp at night unbelievable.
Where I got it: https://www.uniquestyleracingstore.c...5-pre-facelift
How much it cost: $1,093.06 you get 10% off FLEXX code.

Who install it for me: http://extremeautolights.com/
Installation: $250

Pros:
- Best price in the market.
- You don't have to wait 2 months to arrive it from china (Delivered in less than a week with signature req.)
- LED is super sharp and white balance is better than original in my opinion.
- Gives a new look to your car
- 500-600 feet effective far lights.
- Installer guy said this was the best brand between all aftermarket lights.
- No coding need it. Plug in Play. ( One extra cable needs to run to the battery)

Cons:
- If Led don't work, you have to change the head unit left or right. You can't change the bulb.
- There was some imperfections on the corner of the edge of glass, ( it's okay, nothing noticeable)
- You have to adjust the light levels ( watch flexx video on youtube to see how to do it)

Overall: I love it.


Before


After

These are great alternatives, but not exact replicas to oem. They are missing things (no blue to white welcoming lights when unlocked, missing small details, projector lights are too bright compared to oem), but for the cost it's understandable. They are fairly new, so no history on their reliability long term. Depo also produces the LED taillights that lasted me 3 years now. As mentioned before, if something breaks, you will have to replace the control module, or the entire headlight. From previous posts, exact replicas can be found made by OttoAuto, but will need to be second hand since they went out of business. Therefore, these headlights from depo are the next best thing.

Personally, these aftermarket headlights are great to replace the halogen lights. But for the future next car, gotta be more careful on the features of the car, including the headlights!

My LED bar comes on when I push the unlock button. These lights are night and day compared to the Halogen crap ones. I switched to a LED bulb with the halogen lenses first and the light output was just garbage still. Finally spent the money on these about 6 months ago and love them!

not sure. I installed mine myself pretty straight forward plug and play. The only additional item is to wire the LED bar lights to your battery for constant power. You may want to check your settings on your car that might have something to do with it.
