Since you can directly compare, how are the new headlights vs old?
Brighter. It seems the ring around the headlights is brighter as well (pops even in daytime). The throw of-course is shaped different when seen in the dark. I haven't tested the high beams on the road yet. But not as big of a difference to me as of yet simply because matrix LEDs aren't truly being utilized for now. The main thing is that the rear definitely looks quite a bit different which made me opt for the new "design".
