P_nuts, how are lights holding up?
Thanks

Yes still love them. Last year, when I got my state inspection, I asked them to adjust them, but I think they forgot because I saw no difference. I hardly ever drive it at night, so I put it on the backburner. Looking to do it this year . . . hopefully. Even so, I do not think they are as bright as OEM, unfortunately.

Thats discouraging. OEM LEDs or OEM xeons?
mine is 2013 with original xeon bulbs. I guess getting new bulbs will bring the light back up and I should be fine. But my lenses are in terible shape, and i mean terrible. So I'm trying to figure out the best course.
rennlights or something like what you did.

I was tempted to go your route, but decided to go OEM.

i bought it from Aliexpress vendor, they are all the same as the US reseller . Cutting middle man was cheaper , shipping was also fast . They gave me 2 years warranty vs 1 year with other resellers .

Light beam is adjusted to the same height as oem , OP said his lights were pointing downward , mine wasn’t very far off according to my Indy shop . Yes plug & play , no slicing of wiring , just unplug your oem & plug new one in.

if you have PDLS , you will loose that function cuz new lights don’t come with it . That’s why I have the orange headlight icon but it doesn’t bother me , it’s like having headlight icon on. No error message to bring to dealer .

Video shows that the light doesn’t need adjustment - I opened the garage just to be a dork and show the other toy

better lighting at night and I almost sold this GTS because I didn’t like the lights compared to upgraded ones. This has finally made my GTS perfect to my liking - what a win!
