Request: Headlight beam shots

[Masejoer]

Can someone post a photo of the Maverick headlights shining against a wall (garage door), preferably 30-50 feet away and with camera exposure settings set to around -1 stop (phones can so this also - tap to focus, then slide the popup slider down a bit to darken the photo). High beam would also be helpful. It should make beam quality and width expectations easy to discern.

I'm really curious how the Maverick lights will compare to the D2S HIDs in my current vehicles. OEM projection HIDs get a lot of reach, and wide beam width, so I'm curious how the reflected LEDs compare, and how the dual low beams are optically setup.

Who remembers which video did this exact thing?

I don't have the Maverick yet, but I don't think you'll be disappointed. The cars I have driven that have had reflector-based LEDs (new Accord, new C300) far outperformed the cars I had with D3S and D2S projector HID (Porsche Macan, Mercedes C350, Kia Soul).

We sold our last HID-equipped car (the Macan) this past February. I don't think I will ever be able to go back to HID now.

Great video - that helps explain it. A photo would be better for future reference within the thread/forum searches, but the cutoff looks good. Not sure about the width, but that doesn't bother me much as it does to some.
