    I was about to say the same. I would stay away from LED headlights for low beam at the moment, because the design is not 100% correct. People get blinded by aftermarket LED low beam headlights as their light pattern is not the same as normal halogen (design issue) and there is a lot of glare.
    The same group you posted the video from, has a comparison video for different aftermarket LED headlights and the final conclusion was that none of them good enough yet.

    As can see on the roads lot of tradies trucks got after market LED and it is definitely blinding other drivers, but at the same time I also find a high riding Luxury SUV (e.g. a GLE) blinds me with its "intelligent" "self-leveling" stock LED low beam.

    Let us know how it goes. Show us some pictures please. I messaged them and they said it should be straight forward to install yourself, pretty much plug in.

    But i am worried this may blind on coming traffic because i hate it myself.

    Looking from this photo it should not blind oncoming traffic too much compared with a truck with LED upgrade

    I bought my 2018 Tiguan comfortline here ( Blingwork Automotive Lighting) for LED upgrade and can't be anymore happier with the results. The work was done within an hour for low beam, DRL, fog , front indicators and rear indicators. 100% satisfied. I have to say upgrading to LED indicators makes the car feels more modern and match well with tje LED turning lights on the mirrors. They have tested it does not blind the traffic and also in the vehicle setting you can adjust the angles of the beam. I am going to leave the the LED fog on from now on until.someone tell me off.

    Wow, nice! How about the cornering light?

    BTW you hid the licence plate on the first picture, but forgot to do it on the next two pictures.

    They look awesome! Good work. Would love to do this to my MY18.5 comfortline!

    If anyone knows of a good place in Adelaide, let me know.
