How are Headlights a tacky mod?

If your upgrading from 00 to 03 headlights, what is tacky? It is the next version of the car and it is superior. I see nothing wrong at all. Its a desgin from Mercedes, Nothing tacky.

Whats tacky is retrofitting Bently arnage headlight to an S500.

IDK what world your living in

Aftermarket headlights are not the same quality as oem, that's why I think it's not an upgrade. Maybe an update? I live in a world where oem headlights are superior to aftermarket headlights!

Its the same exact thing if not better.

I've seen Aftermarket parts better than OEM many many times.
