Someone on FB said low beam output is just as good as OEM. High beam output could be better

They should be in-stock. Bought some directly from them.

I placed my order directly from VLAND April 15, got my tracking number May 3. USPS indicates "Processed Through Facility ISC SAN FRANCISCO" on May 7 and till this day, which makes 1 month since I placed my order, hasn't moved forward. What gives??

So I have had them for about 2.5 months on the car. Now I am having moisture inside the right light. I even applied rtv around the seams just as I have done to aftermarket lamps in the past prior to installing them to prevent this. I must have missed a spot or something. Supposedly they will be sending me a replacement set soon. Otherwise the lights are awesome. High beams could be better for LED. Low beam seems to have better light output than factory. Overall I am happy with them as long as they come thru with replacing my current set.

Are these compatible with 2011+ models with the newer OEM style headlights?

I'm so tempted to try these.......but I've been burned before with quality issues with aftermarket headlights specifically with light output. They do look go though and completely give the front end a face lift like the Vland tails did for the 2IS IMO

Yea I was apprehensive at first but my headlights were getting worse every time I cleaned them up. The light output is better than stock Xenon. Also did not hurt my wallet as much than going to OEM. So if I can get 2 years out of them I will be happy.

Did you ever apply clear coating after you polished? If you don't do that, the "cleaning" will only last a few months under UV.

That's good to hear that the light output is better than the OEM low beams at least, I'm just concerned how bad the high beam output is at this point? But it's true they are a lot cheaper than the OEM lights .

Yes I did. It had tiny spider cracks from being old and FL sun destroying the plastic.

Can anyone confirm if the LEDs are replaceable in case it burns out?

I too bought these and they have been stuck at customs for almost a month now. Their website says the headlights are DOT and SAE approve, not sure if its true. Hopefully customs doesn't seize these headlights.
