    I had the the f16 plus and while they were brighter than stock, they weren’t great. I think the problem is, LEDs in the 2016-19 projectors don’t throw light down the road. If you want good, concentrated light, you’ll have to go HID. You won’t regret it!

    Im finally gonna upgrade my headlights soon. I still can't believe I bought a set of spyderauto headlights, it was a literal downgrade from oem. My current aftermarket headlights are worse than the halogens in the oem headlights. I'm upgrading to the Morimoto XB LED Headlights in a few months

    w/ aftermarket headlights:

    They aren’t even close to the same. Entirely different design. The Ultras SUCK, they’re far worse than the factory H11 halogens. Read Crashnburns review of the different Hikaris

    Yes that's the "2020" model with the XHP chip to be avoided.

    I can’t keep these LED bulbs straight, I tried so many and they all sucked... that’s why I just went with the 2020 LED purpose built headlights

    I just bought these Auxbeam H11 for my lowbeams and I like them over the stock halogen bulbs, they are way brighter and light up the front pretty evenly. Mine is a 2021 though, not sure if that made a difference.
