Default Aftermarket headlights for 2013-2015 gs?

Has anyone else seen these recently. It looks like triple beam headlights similar to vland lights. I was wondering if anyone’s taken a chance on them yet? I see them on eBay and Alibaba.

Well I ended up ordering them. Will update once I get them and go to install them.

Just got them installed today. So far so good. Plugged right in. Turn signals and high beams work and it has sequential turn signals that illuminate like a amber color

How's the cutoff? Is it a similar amount of light?

I'd assume these don't support auto-leveling?

Any warnings on the dash? I saw reports that these don't just work with the F Sports, not sure why or what the difference would be between the lights on a F Sport vs non F Sport?

I wonder if it would be easy to modify the aftermarket 2016+ ones to work with prefacelift

So no lights on the dash, the cut off is obvious. I took a pic and video that looks yellowish in video but in person is white. Also the driver side beam was much lower than the passengers. I can’t figure out how to adjust it. I wish I would have been there when it was installed. I’ve never messed with the lights, didn’t want to do it wrong. The lights look great but the quality isn’t as good as the stock ones of course. It looks a little dirty inside the leans for a “new” light and I saw a fingerprint on the black paint inside the light. It’s not obvious but once I saw it I can’t I see it. Does anyone else know how to adjust the lights it’s not like the stock one where you slide that screw driver in.

Look like the passenger side too high, and the driver side a little low, should be adjustment somewhere for you to play.
Edit: included pic, not sure they are the same as your.

Assuming it was the seller in your first post, is this the listing (these are new, not pre-owned, though).
https://www.ebay.com/itm/354340462383

Then the adjustment is likely the blue circled thing, as it looks to have an extension to control one of the adjustment screws. The other adjustment screw is likely for left to right, so I wouldn't touch it unless that is off.

They look pretty nice. Were you able to find the adjustments?

I haven’t been able to adjust it. I was sent a replacement set, I will have it installed early next week when I’m off.

You had to take off the bumper to install them ? Is that mandatory
