Headlight question
So I cracked my headlight lens and everything on the passenger side. I don’t know what would be my best option and I was looking online to buy a set but see a difference between halogen and xenon adaptive and all this stuff. I checked my vin online to see what I had and just wanted to see if someone could confirm and maybe provide me with somethings I can do to get a headlight or headlights.

It's probably a bad idea to use your email address as your user name.

You have adaptive xenon (HID) headlights. They are expensive but there are aftermarket options if you want to go that route. Aftermarket headlights will not be adaptive so you will probably need to code that out or you will get a constant error.

I'll never go with aftermarket lights again! Spending less money to get something that doesn't match oem quality so that it fails and you have to buy the expensive one anynway is not an option for me.

Why do people go aftermarket in the first place? Cause OEM failed. |

Thank you everyone for your replies this is it. The angel eyes aren’t working. I might end up just buying the lens and trying to fix the lens. I have the adaptive headlight malfunction light on in the car. The low beam light is the only one working as of now.

definitely jump on that, if you get contaminate in the lens housing you could lose complete functionality of the headlight and then you really will be buying a whole new one.
