Headlights Hella or Tesla

There are no alternatives. It\u2019s OEM Hella or Chinese crap. There are no options in the middle. There used to be DJ Autos but have been long discontinued.\n\nGet a set of Hellas. Restore them. It\u2019s the best option and you\u2019ll have great headlights for life

significantly better than the Sylvania OE ones for light output, but with an OE style cutoff so you don’t blind other drivers.

i have the hellas; im extremely satisfied with their quality and output

It does keep your high beams on but blocks out other cars, so it should not blind people. I have never been flashed with the matrix running, so I would check if your headlights are leveled properly.

I swapped the Hella conversions in on my '87 16V last year. These part numbers worked just fine: Low beams x2 Hella 003177862 HLMP MOD 164X103 H4 High beams HELLA 003177821 164x103mm H1 High Beam Halogen Conversion Headlamp Kit

Might be an unpopular opinion but get a pair of Hella Vision Plus (1A6002395) H4 headlights, ceramic H4 connectors and 100/90w H4 bulbs. Night and day difference without messing with the beautiful classic look.

For tesla folks - Older Teslas are just kinda like that with their headlights. I used to have a 2019 Model 3 and I got high-beam-notified _constantly_. They fixed it in 2021.

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.

Tesla are the fuckin worst. If I get blinded 9 times out of 20 it's some ass in a Tesla.

The light bar on the new doesn't bother me, but the placement of the headlights sucks. They look dumb at night.
