Interesting. Thanks for posting pics guys. Anyone of you care to open the cover on the back of the lamps to see if the LED bulbs are interchangeable?

Here's comparison. Both at night with SAME camera settings(ISO, f stop, exposure, etc)
Old headlights(2012 my lights) with 6000k Garax bulbs. I think my left bulb was misaligned

Overall super happy with them, great visability once aligned, though I will say I think high beams is slightly lower.

Another low iso pic

Looks pretty good. Is the output spotty (i.e. have weird patterns or pretty even?)?

Was very smooth imo, a nice line at the top, The high beam is like a kind of defined shape, not just like lights everywhere but adds a 'lights forward' to the existing lights instead. So low beams really nice, high beams not quite as bright as normal high beams and a lil more focused.

Will these headlights automatically adjust (vertically) when you put more weight in the back/trunk?

Right now I have the factory HID lights with AFS (steering headlights in corners), I would be willing to give up AFS for these new VLands. However, this car lacks a vertical headlight adjustment dial in the dashboard (because that's controlled automatically). If I get these headlights, would that mean that I have to open the hood and remove panels to access the headlights with a screwdriver every time I hook a trailer or transport anything with some weight? That would be a kind of PITA...

Thanks

I personally think they fit great, I was super worried about it before I got them.

I can't attest to this actually working but the diagram that came with it shows an 'up/down' motor which I assume does what you speak of.

Hey Mysta, your lights look great on your car! Did you wire the swoosh to parking lights again or did what the instructions said? Where is the parking light fuse?

Again looks good man!
