    Ok, but i drive the same route to work everyday. Since day one i said to myself the lights are worse than my 23. I have the leveling set at 0. My 2023 did not have leveling.

    Do you have lots of turns on the route? According to the measured testing, the turning projection distance is a little shorter on the 4g. But straight line they are slightly better.

    That tells me the 24 have a tighter beam pattern and less horizontal spread. I wonder if there is any lateral adjustment on the headlight housing?

    Your MDX headlights most likely produced more usable light. CUV and cars benefit being lower to the ground less work for the headlights.

    Makes sense, you have about 80% of the mdx performance on straight line distance

    I wonder if the standard bulb helps with melting snow off at all. That would be a benefit for me.
