Headlights OEM BMW or Osram

I swapped the stock halogens on my 2020 GTI for Osrams. I purchased them straight from a German parts site and they were shipped right to my door here in the US. I love the way the Osrams look

First time removing bodywork, and it was a little finicky, but it all came together (minus one tab). I had a set of trim removal tools that was super helpful. Otherwise just a couple Torx bits, no lift. Took 3h all in.

Being that you went with the EU spec (recently just bought a pair from an EU model and had chat GPT verify the part numbers lmao) is there any issues with OTA updates?

I went all in with the Osrams from Germany. Doesn't have leveling lights, but definitely a huge upgrade from halogen and the quality is worth the price.

Literally today I am putting my repaired headlight back in my F10. Was worse than yours, but started off looking like yours. Eventually I started getting faults for the headlight as water contaminated the electrics.

I’ve got a pair on my mk6 tsi Just to answer you questions a bit quick:

1. Definitely, but you might need to swap the bulbs to LED as the ones I ordered came without. It gives a much better light than the original headlights.

There is a good chance you can take apart the unit with a heat gun and re-seal it ive done it before on Honda, Toyota, Ford, GM, Dodge... Those headlights are a good $3K a pop new in Canada for OEM BMW.

Can't believe this is a "sealed unit" that managed to get condensation inside from driving through a puddle. What is BMW's QC coming to?

My wife\u2019s 2020 118i headlight had the yellow issue in one. Non-dealer bmw shop quoted us $3,500 but we had to do both for $7,000. About 50% of the residual value of the car, for a yellow headlight.

Replacing a single headlight on our BMW x5 was $7,500.
