Default LED headlights recommendation

I'm thinking about getting LED headlights for my C4 and was looking at these on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BWBRDJ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2fabCb6KG9V0R

Are they a waste of money? If there are some others that you recommend for under $100 let me know. Thanks!

I am using these exact lights for 3 months now. For under $100, I think they are the best choice. Very good, bright and definite light pattern, not like other led lights with similar price. The high beam could be a tittle bit strong, but's ok.
Plug and play but you have to fix the ground of the fog lights so that they work.

92% give them 4 or 5 stars..

Probably a good bet, because you can't get that many people to agree on anything.

When you say these exact lights do you mean the ones I linked? Or did you mean to link some? I don't think what you linked was correct it just prompts me to write a reply to this thread.

Also you're saying they interfere with the fog lights?

All LED headlamps require either the change to the foglight grounding scheme or the resistance inline with the headlamp harness (circuitdoctor's solution). Either option seems pretty easy to implement, and will be required regardless of how expensive the LED lamps you buy are.

Thanks for the clarification.

Also, does anyone have pics of them installed in your car? And do the black or silver look better so you think? Since they're under the hood it probably doesn't matter much I'm thinking.

I bought these last year. https://smile.amazon.com/Headlight-H...WPG7M75QYEC83K

No other wiring required. Works with existing fog lights.



Plug and play

I purchased and just today installed the JW Speaker Evolution 8900 LED's and these headlight are fenomenal I would say they are as good as the Bi-Xenon HID's on my Grand Cherokee which are awesome. I found some 8900's on Amazon for 116 each so I jumped on them. I have not done the relay ground on the fog lights yet but I'm planning on it.
