I was in the same boat you were. So many options and so many reviews its hard to tell what is real and whats not.
I ended up going with these for my 2015 Elantra.

I have been very pleased with them. My wife works nights and she wasnt happy with the stock ones. She has been very happy with them.
They have been installed for about 4 months with zero problems.
A couple of notes however, at least on the 2015 Elantra, the dust caps will not fit with these in. You will either need to buy aftermarket caps which are available for cheap on amazon or go without any. I don't have any currently and haven't had an issue with dust or water etc getting into my housings.
The tend to mess with your AM radio signal if you are trying to listen to a weak station. Stronger AM stations don't seem to have an issue. No issue listening to FM or Sirius, Cd etc.
3.5 years so far on these with no issues in my 17 ST1.

I've had these in since October 2018. Before that it was new bulbs every 6 months. Best purchase ever.

I switched out the halogen low beams to LEDs on my ‘22 sport using Beamtech LEDS (linked below). I had to adjust the aiming of the head lights a bit as they were aimed a bit high when I installed the LEDs. So far I havent been flashed by oncoming traffic so I think Im good.

These are the ones I went with, another guy on this sub recommended them

I did some research a couple of years ago and wound up getting these for my 2014 and they're nice, they've got a decent cutoff so I don't blind oncoming traffic.
I agree that Silverstone are crap. Not worth it. I switched to LEDs and won't go back. Got a set from Amazon. Inexpensive, bright and durable.

If your headlights are in projector housings, you can get away with using *just* the right LED bulbs. The big concern is where, vertically, the cutoff is, so it doesn't blind other drivers (nor look like trash). I've had great luck with Beamtech's bulbs on Amazon [ LINK ] depending on the car I put them in. Again, gotta' have projector housings (which I think your car has, for DRL's), but these bulbs are oriented with the LED's at 3 & 9 o'clock when mounted, and cutoff at just the right height.
Not a mechanic. I've heard mixed opinions. Some say never convert to LED, some say projector housings are fine but not reflector housings. I don't even know what exactly is the conversion kit on top of the bulb itself.
I got this from Amazon on my 17 Mazda 3, they work great so far. My car may not have compatible bulb detection.
You can change the halogen bulbs to LED bulbs. I am not sure what lightbulbs the Mazda 2 has. I just purchased these headlights for my Mazda 3: LED Conversion Kit
I am sure you can find the right bulbs for your car. All it takes is a bit of research.
I was underwhelmed with the default lights, too. After seeing another poster here, I put these in my 2017 Impreza: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHDYTGL
I took before/after photos to compare the cutoff and they were just as good as the stock bulbs, but obviously brighter.
I installed these in my halogen housing with great success. Check out my self post where I have pictures.

Same! I almost dropped the extra $3k just for the better headlights. Anyway I didn't want to advertise initially in case people thought I was spamming.

These are the ones I was looking at but they are 50watt. Do you think these would work?

Thanks!
They were plug and play!
I got these from Amazon and they are plug and play and work SO much better than the stock halogens.
Got them from Amazon. They aren’t that bright to be honest. I’d go as far to say they are a downgrade from stock halogens.

Is this conversion kit the one you got? Link: https://www.amazon.com/BEAMTECH-Headlight-8000Lumens-Extremely-Conversion/dp/B06XHDYTGL. Did you need an additional connector or decoder? Thanks!

Works great in my 2017 Impreza Sport
And they're basically "plug and play" right?
Also, are these the H11's your're talking about? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHDYTGL/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2TG3F01L9JZGJ&psc=1
If so, which one's do you have now?
