Any reviews from owners on the Laser lights?

Any reviews from owners on the Laser lights? I know they are reviews online. I would like to hear from owners of this SAV with real world miles and not from a magazine rushed video. Thanks.

I would like to know also, had mine 5 weeks now and not been out at night yet and only sat in it whilst dark once for a couple of minutes at most. At least it will be discovering something new when I do get to night drive

There are some posts already.

I have them. They work really well.

Laser is only for the high beam. So you will only notice it on the highway or out of the city.

I prefer the look of the lasers.

The adaptive LEDs also do a good job. But IMO don't look as good as the lasers.

Thanks. I found them. Most seem to like them. If not all.

I’m not terribly impressed. The US version is nerfed due to regulations. They don’t seem much different than any new vehicle with xenon headlights.

The vision at night in the woods and on the highway is perfect. I had adaptive leds on my former car and they worked perfectly well too. The lasers are brighter and reach further. I was really impressed driving in the snow on a dark mountain road.

To be really honest the main reason I took them is the looks compared to standard LED. So it's a quite expensive cosmetic option. But worth it for me. It has a big effect on the general aspect of the car.

Had them on my old X5. I might be wrong, but from what I remember they are only active above 35 mph. They are amazing when active, but even the standard LED's are really good.

Laser lights are awesome. I really noticed the extra distance on long strait roads in rain/sleet. They would excite road signs so far up the road I couldn’t believe it as they looked like blue specs. I can’t image them working on full euro spec. Cosmetically they are a lot better looking in the day light. At this price point they are a BMW iconic must. Highly recommend the Laser lights.
