Is there some kind of sticker over the top cover that gets removed or torn when you go to replace the lights? I heard somewhere on here there was but no one has mentioned it.

Got mine installed yesterday, and they look great!

The install is a pain unless you have child-sized hands, but overall definitely worth it.

No there wasnt on mine.

This project is easy if you mentally prepare and read what others had to do to install...but if you go in blindly thinking you will just unplug old and plug new bulb in without any issues, than thats where the probs arise.

After fumbling the bulb into the socket, I found I had to re-orient myself back to the correct position.

Posted this tip over a year ago, only used a grease pencil.

In an older LUX thread -

struggled with my install but got them in last night with the help of a friend with smaller hands. one of the rubber grommets came off while installing so had to put some electrical tape on it. there was only 1 small dab of glue holding it on.

overall very satisfied. gives the car the look of the angel eyes on the new 5er.

BTW, Do you all sell the bulbs for the headlights? Thinking about going to a 6000/6500K. Thanks!

Think these might make a good father's day gift.

Looks good. Is there a pic of lux and Aib side by side comparison?

There is an old picture taken by another company that is a very bad and misleading picture. I dont know if there are any current pictures, but the LUX h8 V3 will be at least 30% brighter then the AIB's ( and less $$)

Here is a quick photo of mine. I'll take some hopefully good shots this weekend.

Information regarding high temperature days

The LUX H8 V3 power supply has been specially designed to incorporate a temperature sensor. On very hot days the inside of the headlight compartment may reach very high temperatures, and the LUX power supply has been designed to turn off if the temperature reaches 100 degrees Celsius. This thermal cutoff is designed to protect the LUX and prevent damages to occur due to heat.

m3heaven · 06-01-2011, 09:57 PM

Does that apply to even the 1st version of LUX angel eyes?

Yes, this temperature cutoff was implemented halfway through the 1st version of LUX H8

jrAdiRon · 06-03-2011, 12:51 AM

Is there any difference with the brightness or as far as looks goes between v2 and v3..? I currently have v2 and I'm undecided if I should do the upgrade..

same brightness, but the LUX H8 V3 power supply allows for all of the wiring to be hidden inside the headlight compartment and also there is no radio interferecne
