I hit a deer with an X5 and except for a small piece of missing trim, you couldn't even tell from 10ft away and it was over $10k. One headlight was replaced because the lower mounting tabs on it were broken.

Pros: repaired like new

Cons: expensive repair

Vehicle: BMW X5

I like it both ways. The twins give it a more sporting/race vibe, and the chrome singles are classic and charming. Good thing it is an interchangeable part!

Pros: sporting/race vibe

Cons: classic and charming

Here\u2019s one, my 21 BMW 218 has quite high dims. I regularly get flashed to dim my light when they are dimmed. There is no dial / setting on the car that I\u2019m aware of to adjust this. I asked BMW and they said I\u2019d need to leave it in (which will cost \u20ac300 or something ridiculous).

Pros: high dims, regularly flashed

Cons: no setting to adjust

My BMW has had very few engine issues…what it has had is a lot of weird and very expensive high tech issues…for example one of the day time running lights went bad because moisture got into the circuit board…this requires a new headlight fixture which was $4k…I just don’t use the DRLs anymore…expect these types of problems to slowly kill your soul

Pros: few engine issues

Cons: expensive high tech issues

Bad quality plastic. Mine are same on the inside, it looks like a million tiny cracks. I'd say it's due to age and wear.

Pros: due to age and wear

Cons: bad quality plastic

I looked at a BMW 7-series with them years back. I spotted tons of issues with it (dynamic headlights fault was one that stuck out in my memory) but they just brushed them off as "They all do that. It's just because it's not been driven for a while".

Cons: dynamic headlights fault

The halogen headlights are not good at all. The visibility on low beam is poor and I almost have to rely on high beam. I am planning to upgrade but would like to know what others recommend.

Cons: poor low beam visibility

Vehicle: Volkswagen
