Crazy smooth. Not as much pick up as the X5 (because of the electric part of the engine) I was looking at first but once the turbo kicks in it sound and feels great. Turbo lag is a drag. By the way I did the headlight upgrade. Definitely worth it

Pros: crazy smooth, great sound and feel
Cons: turbo lag is a drag
Vehicle: Audi

I honestly like these more than my C7.5 RS7 headlights. They are almost identical but the way it curves upwards on the inboard sides is nicer.

Pros: almost identical design
Cons: less appealing curve
Vehicle: Audi RS7

For what its worth, I had the Helix headlights on my 2017 GSW and yes, I had to set those up with HID ballasts and HID bulbs. I was able to tuck the ballast inside the back of the headlight and put the bulb access door/cover back on for a pretty clean install.

Pros: clean install

I have the helix MK7 reps with a generic HID bi-xenon set up. Works just fine. Like other said just make sure its a can bus system.

Pros: works just fine

Picture 1 is Audis LED headlight, while the later is a standard Xenon/Halogen set up. The Xe/Ha is cheaper to maintain, but the lifespan is a fraction of the LED. The LED headlight lifespan is said to be years of constant use without issue(20,000+ hrs). The downside to LED is if something does go wrong with the headlight, you cant just replace the LED, you replace the whole unit($1,000+ USD if not under warranty)

Pros: long lifespan (LED)
Cons: high replacement cost (LED), short lifespan (Xenon/Halogen)
Vehicle: Audi S3

I just got burned on the terrible quality of Helix halogen projector headlights, and put the stock reflector headlights back on. Yes, the Helix projector lights were that bad.

Cons: terrible quality
