I run the H4 conversions from HELLA and they have been great. A lot more light than the old sealed beams and retains the stock look unlike the dorky looking LEDs. I ran a relay harness so they get power direct from the battery.

Pros: more light, stock look

The DRL on my passenger headlight partially died (one of the vertical strips on the outside of the lamp stopped working) about a month ago. Took it to the dealer and they had a new headlight installed within the week under bumper to bumper.

Pros: headlight installed under warranty
Cons: DRL partially died
Vehicle: Ford

Cons: headlight went out

Hella Headlights

I just came across new headlights made by Hella which are look alike VW MK5 versions and installed one to test the beam pattern on my GTI337. It appears that VW MK5 versions are newer one and due to that fact are engineered to put more light on the road. There is no visible cut out in a beam pattern like on OEM versions, but the MK5 look alike seem to be winning on my check list.

Pros: more light on the road
Cons: no visible cut out
Vehicle: Volkswagen

what you do is chuck these in the garbage and just buy hella h4 replaceable 7" round headlights (they are glass as well so it wont fade/uv cooked) and stick with those. these offbrand amazon/ebay/temu/aliexpress halo led headlights have such garbage light output and beam pattern that you'd be better off just strapping led pen lights to the front of your car.

Pros: glass, wont fade
Cons: garbage light output

I'm pretty sure the headlights on our RV are from an F-150. They are the worst e-bay specials and truly are terrible to drive at night.

Cons: terrible to drive at night
