Default Best Aftermarket Headlights?

Hey! So, I have a 2012 IS250 AWD and I absolutely despise the light output of my headlights.
Im in the market for new LED headlights and I just want to know of the best on the market? Also, my headlight are ugly. UV damage, plastic is splitting, just all around an eye sore and eye strainer in the dark lmao. I was thinking about VLAND headlights? Ive seen a few good reviews but some people say the output isnt all that great. Anyone love their upgrade and feel like sharing which kind they went with and why they love them? Thanks!

The only thing about the VLANDs are the highbeams are pretty bad. but for me i hardly use them so im pretty happy with the switch and have no complaints about them

I'm enjoying my factory replacement TYC HID headlights with AFS! Works like factory, and quality is good too.

I got the spec d headlights. There the cheapest ones and have the most issues. But I have read the same issues for all of them including vland. I have had only condensation when it's pouring rain and I hit a puddle.


I actually contacted the supplier and they sent me a extra pair for free. So now I have an extra pair of anything goes wrong with my current one.

And if anything goes wrong I'm gonna open up the old pair and mess around and customize them

I ran a bead of silicone on the headlights 24 hrs before installation. Same for my taillights no condensation what so ever. I also have the spec D fog lights add a bead of silicone to the seams, and you should have zero condensation.
