Headlights OEM BMW or TYC

TYC Headlights

I just replaced mine with the TYC ones from rockauto.

The quality of the injection molding on the backs is obviously a little different from the originals, but the optics are at least good. Overall I'm pretty happy with them

Pros: good optics, happy overall
Cons: different injection molding
Vehicle: Volvo XC70

I\u2019ve had both a pre-facelift M3 and LCI M3 CS. Honestly they are both great and I think the LCI is a nice new interpretation of the halos. Alternatively, I don\u2019t think the pre-LCI needed a new interpretation. Either way, they are both better than newer version, which still look to me like they are upside down.

Pros: great new interpretation
Cons: newer version upside down

This is why I got the 2019 model. The lines are far more aggressive in my opinion. Really appreciate the hexagonal look. Beautiful little details that really tie the car together.

Pros: aggressive lines, beautiful details

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.

Pros: can re-seal it
Cons: headlights are expensive

it's been driving me nuts that I've been getting condensation only in my passenger side headlight. They're brand new TYC aftermarket headlights and I have another friend with the same exact issue. Same brand, same side.

It's not leaking or anything. Just your typical condensation that doesn't go away lol. I've checked the breather valve (valve for venting the heat) and while it looks identical to the driver side, the holes are pretty small. I'm guessing it's not enough for the hot air to vent out, hence the condensation.

Cons: condensation, small breather holes

My BMW 2020 X7 lease is up and I’d like to do a lease buyout. My right headlight is cracked and BMW won’t repair it. Can I still do a lease buyout with the damaged headlight or will I be charged for that? BMW gave me a repair cost of almost 9k.

Cons: headlight is cracked
Vehicle: BMW X7

I have a 2019 M240i that gets condensation inside

the driver side headlight when it gets very wet (in a car wash or a very heavy rain- not so much in a light rain). This doesn’t really happen on the passenger side. I saw your response to the other person where you said this would be covered under warranty.

Cons: condensation inside headlight

First picture is low beams Second high and low Third against a wall about 10 feet away ( couldnt find a dark enough place with enough space to do the 25ft) My main complaint is the dark and hot spots. There is no blend with the beams. You can clearly see the reflectors mirrored onto the street. (Worse in real life) Also there is no light thrown to the sides of the vehicle. Almost looks like a spot light They might not be adjusted perfectly but that is also due to the lack of quality. While adjusting the headlights one of 6mm hex screws came out. Another one appeared to not to be doing anything and then jumped a large amount and stopped adjusting. Im assuming they skipped a tooth or the internal adjusting screw came out of the reflector housing.

Cons: dark and hot spots
