PFL OEM LED Headlights - Better than Xenon?

[AlaskanAudi]

Hey Audizine,

Considering retrofitting OEM PFL LED headlights (prestige) instead of my premium plus xenons. I think the LEDs look very cool but I am more interested in their performance over the base-level xenons.

For clarity, I have driven a FL S3 at night with the LED headlights and they are phenomenal. Are PFL headlights similar in terms of performance?

Can anyone with a prestige A3/S3 provide some input on how well their headlights perform at night?

No.. PFL is no where near xenon, it looks cool but it's really weak... FL LED is total different story though.

That is sad.

Ever heard of anyone improving upon PFL LEDs? Different bulbs/ballasts?

I don't think this is possible. But if you're thinking that the led headlamps are weak, they aren't. Not by a longshot. But compared to other led headlamps, especially those coming out today, they're weak. But I never drive around thinking, "man I wish my headlights were brighter"

Get the Matrix LED headlights.

Get the Matrix LED headlights.

As far as I have read, there is no option for matrix LED for the pre-facelift. Only the facelift ones got them in Europe.
