The standard LED lights I had on my e-Golf were very good, far superior to anything halogen or HID I’ve had on a car, good range and very even light.

The IQ lights on my old ID.3 and now the ID.4 are brilliant though, but you don’t necessary need brilliant to have very good lights.

I don’t think anybody has complained, that I’ve seen anyway, about the standard LED lights on any ID model.

 

Well if they are similar to the LED on my 2018 GTE they will be fine.

For some reason the Buzz with the dark interior is only on the Life version and not given IQ lights as an added option. Oy the Style and 1st Edition have them.

Thank's for reply. I just found a guy in youtube comparing standard LED on a Born vs IQ on an ID3 and about from ID following into the corners not much in it.

 

I have the ID4 1st with standard lights, and for the 6 times it went to the dealer for up dates etc ..
I was given a loan ID3 with the IQ lights.. my impressions were they were 'OK' ish, but not brilliant..

Standard lights give a good spread of the road ... the LED lights are great and work well, but the IQ act like spotlights, moving as you turn the steering wheel .... Great to see the road as you 'turn' at low speeds, but any slight move of the wheel as you are going ahead at speed .. they risk loosing the ability to light up what's ahead of you ...

It's very much a personal choice thing .. I wouldn't pay extra for them ... but others will love them. Why not see if a dealer will give you an extended test drive and borrow a car with IQ lights over night and see what you think yourself.

The IQ lights do more than just corner lighting, the matrix illumination is also something pretty special and useful when following somebody down a dark road, or only turning off the individual LED modules that would dazzle the oncoming vehicle, but still leaving you with a better view of the road ahead around it.

I’ve never noticed the risk of not lighting up what’s ahead of you either, the corner lighting just brings additional LED modules into play, it doesn’t remove them from straight ahead.

As I say, I’d be happy with the standard VW LED lighting, and I wouldn’t let the lack of IQ lights deter me from choosing a car that had everything except IQ that I wanted.

My old e-Golf still had a version of corner lighting anyway, I presume the LED equipped ID.4 does as well?

 

Well I'm not bothered about an ID Buzz with a white interior and the Life spec is only one to have dark interior and no IQ option so choice taken away.

From comments already doesn't sound like a deal breaker and saves me a decent amount of cash too by not having.
