headlights BUT the LED is worth it..

I was hesitant at first spending that extra 1900.

When I received my M4 a week ago and saw them in person, LED Headlights look amazing. So crisp, so futuristic looking, the color is unbelievable and just adds so much to the overall appearance to the front of the car. LED allows you to use the halo's as a headlight because they are more bright over the xenon projected halo's. it is an option to think about for sure.

I think it has been discussed already that the LED lights are not brighter than HID (use less energy, sure). In Europe I would get LEDs but not in the US because of our arcane laws from the 70s limiting the technology (limiting the way we can use it). BMW is also overcharging for LEDs by a good margin compared to all other manufacturers (example is Audi's LED price $1400). I would rather spend the money on full leather.

$1900 is a lot to pay for lights that look a little cooler, especially when you are inside your car and don't get to see how they look head on.
