The picture rendered in the configurator (the first ones are the led and the others bellow are the standard):
On my render it looks like below:
Almost impossible to find a real picture of the base model headlights.
I beleive they are led but not adaptive.
I managed to find a standard 17 » wheels picture tho
Thanks for sharing if anyone finds one !

FlashMonkey929 wrotenot really sure... I meant that it didn't say "BMW LED" like on the headlight we have here on the US-spec X1.The color of the light suggests they are LED or at least HID, but in an open reflector housing vs. a projector.
does BMW or any other automaker still manufacture new cars with HID headlights? I don't know of any right now... everybody seem to have to switched to using LED or laser(for expensive models)
PlasticEngine wroteI couldn't get much from the Italy website and too lazy to translate, but I think the main/high beams are probably still LED, just reflectors instead of projectors, and the turn signal and halos are not.not really sure...

I personally prefer a good HID with projectors, the light output tends to project more uniformly over a farther distance, and the output is a warmer color which is better for night driving and contrast. LED light tends to be a bit more diffuse and drops off sooner, though it has improved a lot in recent years.

Other BMW models offer it for around $1000 which is cheap.(compared to close to $2000 when HID first became available all those years ago)I couldn't get much from the Italy website and too lazy to translate, but I think the main/high beams are probably still LED, just reflectors instead of projectors, and the turn signal and halos are not.

PlasticEngine wroteI don't care as much about the laser lights; I'd much prefer LED matrix anti-dazzle lights.

Difference is in the fact that the option is regarding adaptive LED lights…
KPM2C wroteUS X1 does not get adaptive LED headlights. but it's also not the basic headlight like the one mentioned in this thread.All are LED - even basic.

SELECTED BASE MODEL EXTERIOR EQUIPMENT FEATURES:
– LED headlights and LED rear lights
– Light alloy wheels
– Automatic tailgate operation
MontyB1 wrotedoes that mean they are the same headlights as this X1 in South Africa?From the spec sheet I posted...

I doubt many cars in the UK will get them. Most will be M-Sport with a few being X-Line, very very few base sport models will get these.

Gftbaksken wrotesadly, we here in the US get the third kind: the ugly LED non-adaptive headlights (not the base LED headlight, but also not full adaptive LED headlight)Another picture of base vs adaptive
