I’d stick to OEM or DEPO. OEM is best but also most expensive, DEPO is good for the money, they will last and fit well.

Pros: last and fit well
Cons: OEM is most expensive

Used depo aftermarket headlight since my OEM ones were melted on the inside from the Drls and super faded from the sun. Bulbs were D2S with lexus OE ballasts. Used a morimoto Motocontrol relay harness to eliminate flickering. Pretty fun diy mod and super happy with the results and the clean cut off line. I also disabled the DRL so this set won't melt.

Pros: clean cut off line
Cons: condensation concerns

Nimm die Depo, die sind am ehesten an der Optik OEM+Angel Eyes. Hatte ich auch Jahrelang und nie Probleme damit. Beide haben E-Freigaben.

Pros: Optik OEM+Angel Eyes
Cons: keine Probleme damit

Hey there. Wanted to comment on this as I noticed the same thing on my '22 when I bought it.\n\nThis is normal. DO NOT TAKE THEM APART!\n\nWhat you are seeing is the line between the high and low beam LED arrays in your headlight. The new design in '22 made big improvements to the headlight performance and this line is a result of that.\n\nI agree it is somewhat distracting but the new design having more LEDs available for the high beams makes a huge difference in how well they light up the road when they are on.

Pros: more LEDs available
Cons: somewhat distracting

I thought the headlight gap was normal. I have glass depos and they have the same gap. The original plastic headlights had the same gap as well.

Pros: gap is normal
Cons: headlight gap

I got a pair of DEPO OEM-style lights which look and fit the same and have the leveling motors. I notice that some light shines out the side of the assembly. I can see the HID capsule, located between a parabolic mirror and the projector lens, by looking through the side of the headlight at a specific angle. The light leakage through the same path illuminates a vertical strip of bushes and trees off each of the car. The beam pattern seems a bit different with these, more of a step-up versus what I thought was a straight horizontal cut-off previously. Otherwise the fit and finish seem fine on the DEPO lamps.

Pros: fit and finish seem fine
Cons: light shines out the side

I had depo headlights on my last car. If you drive outside the city at night much then it's not much of an issue but the light output and pattern really leaves something to be desired, even with the xenon.

Pros: adequate for city driving
Cons: poor light output, poor light pattern
Vehicle: BMW

Depos are made to be plug and play with PFL models. The halos look like crap, my advice is to replace them with cotton rings for better aesthetics.

Pros: plug and play
Cons: poor halo aesthetics
