Headlights OEM BMW or HELIX

aka_deno said: Here you guys go. recorded it this morning. Sorry there is no sound other then me walking around the front of my car lol. First is DRL's only. Headlights witch in Off or Auto mode. The LED's turn off on the side when a blinker turns on (Not in video) but you can disable this in vagcom. (I like the LED's off during blinker, looks more OEM) THen Parking lights or running lights whatever you want to call them. LED's stay ON with blinker. Then Low Beam (This has the Pre-installed HID kit with 5000k bulbs. Wish they would offer 4500 as the 5000k is a whiteish blue, i like OEM 4300 or 4500 where its true white white, with a tad of yellow) The cutoff line is deep blue for some reason when i am driving around. Then High beams. I also have Lamin-x on the headlights, put that on before installing the headlights. Oh and NO the LED's dont blink in real life, just on camera. But this gives a good look at what they look like during daytime (post rain)

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.

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.

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.

yes sir...I did it myself....and I tell yeah...the eyebrow really hides alot....and the headlights show way better than before....when adjusted properly....

they look like crap imo. too many gaps on the side, top, bottom etc... they just don't look like they belong. that and you have to bootleg the install just to hide everything. shouldn't have to be like that. keep it clean.
