The test was also conducted for the LED lights on the 3er and those only scored either "poor" (without adaptive headlights and high beam assist) or "marginal" (with adaptive headlights and high beam assist), and "marginal" is still lower than "acceptable". Yes, the halogens were the worst, but the LEDs were still bad to very bad. Although, if you look at the results, there seems to be something off when you compare the two LED equipped cars, because the measurements of the low beams on a straightaway are too different.
