Owner reviews for headlights

Morimoto XB or XB Hybrids. Almost 4 years on mine. Zero issues.

First time removing bodywork, and it was a little finicky, but it all came together (minus one tab). I had a set of trim removal tools that was super helpful. Otherwise just a couple Torx bits, no lift. Took 3h all in.

Being that you went with the EU spec (recently just bought a pair from an EU model and had chat GPT verify the part numbers lmao) is there any issues with OTA updates?

Bought these for my 05 and they turned out nice.

Overall, I am very happy with the results. The biggest pain was the amount of time and energy it took to research/learn about 4Runner headlights and the nuances between model years and aftermarket solutions. In the end, I spent $450 on headlights + $150 on a harness and came out with a high quality solution that far exceeds the halogens mine originally came with. For $600, I got OEM reliability for a critical car component. I’d say that’s a win.

I have the XB Hybrids on my 2019 and can tell you its a huge improvement over the shit-tastic oem halogen headlight. The high beam is definitely noticeable on mine when i turn them on.

I recently bought a 2007 S4 and just went through the process of getting it Maryland inspected. Long story short, I needed to replace the right passenger headlight due to an issue with the headlight assembly. I bought [this](https://eeuroparts.com/product/magneti-marelli/LUS6751) OEM headlight and had it professionally installed at a mechanic I know where he transferred the old ballast and bulb into the new assembly. The installation was successful and it passed inspection, however, every time I start the car the adaptive light warning symbol pops up and continues to flash until I turn the car off again. Erasing the code with a scanner doesn't help and the mechanic I brought the car to didn't know how to fix it.

The Matrix Design headlights on my 2024 Q5 are $5,520ea. Parts are insane these days.

Replacing a single headlight on our BMW x5 was $7,500.

I have a 2024 WRX Ts top of the line Sports wagon...there is one thing I HATE about the vehicle and this in the absolute perthitic LED Crab Claw headlight. They are so bad I don't drive the vehicle at night. The lights are so bad that they are dangerous as they create a dark spot directly in front of the vehicle.
