Headlights OEM Subaru or OEM BMW

Facelift, I have the pre though

Coming from my old 2005 Saab 9-2x Aero that had headlights that were opaque and yellowed and barely put out any light at all, these are literally like night and day. I dreaded night driving in my old car, especially if it was raining. It was like not having headlights at all. These ones on my Limited are like daylight coming out of the front of my car.

I have never in my life had such amazing low beams. These headlights are so good I swear they act like high beams. Been flashed 4 times. I’d buy the car again just for these headlights. The SRH are worth every Penny.

Headlights were terrible. OEM plastic units with halogens. No bueno. Ordered the euro glass projectors with HIDs and new clear fogs (also HIDs). Much, Much, MUCH better. Aimed correctly. Light pattern is acceptable. Zero issues with flashing from other drivers.

I have preface lift and planning to upgrade, the chrome is the biggest problem with pre-LCI, cars don't don't have blacked out headlights look dated after a while.

Just leased a 2025 Forester. The headlights are wonky for sure! It's just low enough where I can't see as much of the road as I need to to avoid objects at night. I know the headlights are angled lower on the left to not blind folks, I just find it very scary to drive and not be able to see.

I have a 2024 Forester, and I absolutely hate the headlights, to the point, I am not sure I would purchase a Subaru again. You have to use the brights in order to get the same field of vision as I got previously on my Camry.

I have a 2024 and they're damn right dangerous on the hilly roads I drive on. Literal black out conditions outside of this fucking rectangle.

Also? They're just shitty headlights in general.

I bought a 3-year old (2021) Forester in January, and I have noticed the headlights suck, too. On a dark road, I need to use the brights to illuminate any kind of meaningful field of visibility, and even then it’s not great.
