Anyone hear anything else on the parasitic electrical drain that has been referenced?

It sounds like this is a good upgrade from xenon adaptive (what I have), so I am keen to try this out if it is plug and play. From what I have read, it sounds like for xenon adaptive, a 9 pin headlight is plug and play (with coding out adaptive being needed).

This is correct, Plug and play on our xenon vehicles.

Anyone ordered from here? They seem to have a decent price compared to all the other dropship vendors stateside

https://midwestbimmersupply.com/prod...47344650191138

if you take shipping into account with the alibaba ones, these seem a lot better value assuming they’re already stateside

It’s all the same. Some of the aliexpress vendors stock in USA as well now.

Surprisingly nobody in this thread seems to care about this fairly significant issue. These aftermarket lights for sure draw on the battery- confirmed by myself, Marius- board recommended coder who has worked on these lights and others who have installed them recently.

I emailed seller and haven’t received any recourse from them.

If I knew this was the case I wouldn’t of bought these and gone OEM instead

Agreed. Although it doesn't seem like everyone is experiencing this issue. Could it be a battery health issue? I wonder how many voltage issues Marius has seen.

I also wonder if there are small variations in what some vendors have brought stateside vs. other aliexpress versions. It does seem like the products are the same, but you never know.

Your lights look awesome though!
