Did yiu just replace them to upgrade? If so what did you go with?

I find the oem to be bright enough for my purpose

I believe the black pieces are the ones over radiator of the two large side pieces on the car

I really appreciate this thread. I always thought the headlights on my 2018 were aimed too low, but never realized they could be adjusted. After reading this and scoping out the physical geometry, I went to Lowes and spent $7 for a long-shank phillips head screwdriver, then came home and followed the guidance here. Very easy! I gave the passenger side two revolutions and the driver side one, and noticed the difference the first time I drove in the dark -- much improved. I may or may not give them each another rotation.

Be careful to use the proper procedure when aiming the headlights. Theres two adjustment screws and if you turn only one, it can disengage the swivel motor from the housing and your lights wont move.
