Owner reviews for headlights

I have been worrying about this ever since I got my 2025 Crosstrek. These new headlights are much better for my lousy eyesight while I'm driving at night

For headlights there a tons of options. Personally I went with an OEM style with black housings, but you can find a bunch on ebay. Just be prepared for the clearcoat to wear out on them after 3 or so years if it lives outside.

Either Depo or TYC from rock auto will give you OEM look and performance without the OEM price. I replaced my headlights and corner lights with these 2 brands over a year and a half ago with no moisture or fitment issues.

My 23 SEL has way better light output than my 14 Audi with HID projectors.

Morimoto are street legal, they’re rated to 50,000 hours use. I’ve had mine for 4 years, been very happy with them.

Looking some more and I ran across TYC brand and that may be what I have in my Suburban. Anyone have any experience with TYC regardless the year?

Overall I like the new Prelude design, but the front IMO is the weakest element as this post highlights. Just not as clean as I think they could have done.

We bought a 2013 Toyota last winter and I was surprised to find it was a step backward in headlights from the 2004 Toyota we replaced. Our previous car didn't have an "auto" setting but at least we could just leave the headlights in the "on" position all the time and they'd shut off when we turned the car off, and turn back on when we turned the car back on. With our current car it's like a step back to the 1990s. There's no "auto" setting. The "on" setting really means "on" even if the car isn't running, and if you try to get out of the car without turning the headlights off the car will beep at you incessantly to warn you the battery will die if you don't turn the lights off. Needless to say this has been an adjustment and I have on a few occasions driven a couple of blocks at night before realizing I forgot to turn the headlights on.

I own a 2022 Toyota, and I was just complaining to a buddy that the headlights on Auto don’t come on unless it’s basically pitch black. I wish they were more conservative.

The headlights were HORRIBLE. The low beam was so narrow that it really only lit up a tiny band about 8 feet in front of the car and there was almost perfect blackness ahead of and behind that. Hyundai said that was normal. The high beams provided great light on country roads, but obviously can't have them on full time.
