I took the plunge & bought a set . It’s winter here so might wait in the springtime to install.

Let’s hope installation will be easy like they said Plug & Play. And no code to reset .

I think you can post vendor links as long as you are NOT the vendor and you don't directly benefit. Def safe to post, but if you scroll up it's posted in a previous thread

PSA - so the Matrix headlights are still working great and still loving them. I have not had the chance to readjust the beam as I do not do much night driving in the car. But I will get around to it one day. Other than that, no issues, no CELs.

Regarding pricing, here is a link for $1300. No experience with this vendor.

i agree at 1300$ it’s worth the trial & error. I paid a bit more but I bargain with the vendor to give me 2 years warranty instead of 1 year lol

I’m glad to hear they are still working great . Any condensation when washing the car or rain?

I have to say you have been super helpful during my purchase decision. I can’t thank you enough for your time & you went beyond helping me look for the best deal. 🙏

i believe you need to create an Alibaba account & sign in.

Yes, try signing in or creating an account to open link. Hopefully that will work.

Rosewell, no condensation or water ingress and I have been through some heavy downpours.

When you install, make sure you transfer the rubber gasket from the old headlights and install on the new ones.
