Does Anyone Have These Headlights?

Just curious how well they function and how do they look in real life?

Every time I see photos of aftermarket headlights I always think they look good but I feel like they're probably poorly sealed and will have condensation in no time.

Might not be the case with these ones but who knows. Only way to know is try then out but most people recommend staying away from aftermarket head/taillights

Best option would be to try and find some used OEM LED headlights unless you are specifically going for that updated look.

I mean they look good and I've thought about it before but I keep holding back because I don't want to lose my adaptive light, I'm pretty sure those are halogen and if they are hid it's probably not as good as the stock projector, and who knows the quality of them.

If I'm gonna upgrade my e70 headlights, I'm gonna actually upgrade them not just upgrade the looks for less functionality.

I want to do the actual BMW LED's but they just look might a major pain in the ass to install.

I'm with ya on that… I'm gonna milk my headlights for as long as they'll last then probably upgrade and go custom : https://www.ossdesigns.com/x-series-f15-f16-program

Seems like the best way to get modern look with more function

I think your right custom is the way to go. I wonder if they are plug and play, with maybe a little coding?

I'm sure they're plug and play but I'm unsure if you'd still get the adaptive light feature because it looks like they use their own led projectors instead. It's custom though so I'm sure you can choose a bunch of options. I'm not crazy about their e70 eye brow led strip though. I'd want mine to carry the whole length of the eyebrow not that short one they show in the pictures.
