Headlights HELIX or OEM Volkswagen

I have helix headlights with drop in HID,s. I have had them for little over 2 years now and I really like them. Like Dion said though you need to be careful in adjusting them as the plastic inner piece will break, mine did so I took it apart and fixed it. I have adjusted them a few times since then with no problems, I was just more careful. The beam out put is very nice. Once I got them aimed correctly I never get flashed by on coming cars and I see the whole road a lot better.

So I figured out why the headlamps were not aiming at the same level.. it's cuz the auto body shop replaced my left headlight with a new one without adjusting it. So I manually adjusted the light using the adjusting screws to match the right side.

I've got the Helix OEM reps on my car. My only gripe with them is that I maxed out the driver side height adjustment and once it stopped moving I didn't try to adjust it more...that's how the adjusters break. Light output is better them OEM...I find any ecode pattern is better then the DOT blob.

I have the standard head lights. I think they are great. The way I look at it one less then to go wrong. Plus I saved $1600.00.

The AFS system is amazing, BUT I find that even the base standard headlights is sufficiently bright at night. Even on the dark texas roads. I've driven a number of japanese and domestic vehicles in the past couple of years, and nothing with standard headlights comes close to the passats standard headlights in terms of brightness and amount of coverage it shines on the road.

Taking the challenge, I bought the headlights to give them a whirl. The housings fit great in the front clip assembly. Body lines and overall fit + finish is spectacular for aftermarket lights. And the price is reasonable compared to hard to find and overly expensive OEM HIDs.

The vanagon square lights are awful.
