Cheap LED Headlights - Worth it? | Bulb Installation and what to expect | BMW F10 DIY | BOND Garage

Since my Xenon bulbs started to show signs of ageing and didn't illuminate the night as much as I would want them to, I decided to try out LED bulbs. Of course, OE LED headlamps would have been way better but they also come at quite a price tag.
These are the bulbs I used: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050...
For the BMW F10 it would be the D1S socket type.

Compared to my old Xenons, these LED are brighter and clearly white (in comparison to the aged, now yellowish Xenon bulbs). At around $50 they are cheaper than Xenon bulbs and should last longer without change of color or output.
IMHO it's worth it.

I hope you don't have that stupid cap-lock on your headlights. But if you do, now you know how to get rid of it without removing the bumper.
