Arrow Regular vs LED lights

Is there an existing forum with a side by side comparison of regular lights vs the LED lights that come with the lighting package?

If not, I'd like to see some photos of each.

Both are LED, but one option is with additional adaptive system to it. I would suggest getting the adaptive ones, imho they are worth it.

fairly sure its the same as the regular M240 vs the premium package M240. The base M240 has a single straight bar daytime running light and looks very cheap imo. Upgraded headlights have that angular shape daytime running light. It's a must have if you ask me.

If you look online for the spy shots of an alpine white M2 in mexico, that one has the standard lights with the straight daytime running light strip.

BTW, Both are pretty vital items in my opinion given their location. Usually when you walk away and turn around to look, you are either looking at the rear or the front. It is not very often that we get a full profile glance unless one parks out in bumble *%ck.

Thank you, those spy shots on google give great photos of the basic headlights
