If you take the burden of reading this thread you'll see the pre-LCI basic halogen headlights are claimed poor even compared to other car's halogen lights. The (LCI!) LEDs (discovered not too good already?) and (pre-LCI!) Xenons are different league. You either get them or forget them.

All the whining is here already, just as well.

How important it is depends on you solely: if you are a daytime only driver, not looking to show off it should be just fine. Otherwise, this thread is about the correct ways to improve in either aspect. But not nearly up to the advanced technologies, take it realistically!
