LED headlight recommendations

Looking to switch the lights over to LEDs to match the DRLs and I'm just looking for a decent quality kit that installs well. There's so many options that come up and so many of them are junk. I don't mind spending money on something decent, and I don't mind getting something from amazon if it actually works. The LED market is just totally flooded now with junk that's bad quality these days and I'd like to avoid that. Have a 2012 w/ halogens

I just ordered a set of lasfit pro h7 for my 2014’s high beam. I rarely use high beam and I upgrade them just for fun. Also with high beam I don’t have to worry about blinding upcoming traffic because you are not supposed to leave high beam on when there’s upcoming traffic (well unless you have ILS). My kit arrives on 04/25 and I’ll post updates later.

I don't know what you can do with a 2012. For the facelift (2014-16) one can simply upgrade the high beam bulbs to mirror the appearance of the LED low beams.

Update: I installed the lasfit pro h7 today and the result is amazing. The high beam is actually usefully now and it allows me to see very far. The beam pattern is awesome, best upgrade I've ever done. Installation is easy and it's pretty much plug and play.

Thumbs up on the AUXITO. I replaced my low beam with H7 led bulbs from auxito. I gotta say they really impressed me, they light up really well, the light is brighter and whiter, got a very clear vision while driving at night. Give plenty of sight to the near and out to the sides as well beyond the normal left and right limit of the low beams.

hi also looking to freshen up my lowbeams..
pre refresh 2011 w212
not sure if I have HID or halogen.
either way, they are inadequate.
looks like hid projectors, but I've heard the oem halogens go in those also.
There is no indication that I can tell on my options decoder either.
What's currently the best aftermarket option for the pre-facelift W212? I don't want anything over 5000 K.

If you don't have code 615 or 619 on your build sheet you have halogen headlights that use H7 bulbs, if you had xenon's, you would know as they are awesome. but you can upgrade to a better H7, most of those last a year or so, or upgrade to an LED bulb

don’t remember which H7’s you got from Auxito? Was in the ones where you need an adapter to install in the housing or just the one with the plug built into the bulb?
