LUX Angel Eyes

I just got my LUX v3 AEs today. I put them in and boy what a difference. Not too bright and not too dim. They look more white than blue to be honest. Like a lot members have said, you got to see them in person.

Not at all, sometimes I prefer the yellow rings over LUX. However, do I prefer LUX more of the time? Without a doubt.

Just the angle of the pictures I guess. Look at this pic I took for reference, under direct sunlight.

IMO all 4 are close, outter rings being slightly dimmer, but that's mostly due to the OEM design as well, I think lux has addressed this the best and has the best plug and play led solution on the market...

Does anyone ever replace the turns with silver coated bulbs? get rid of the egg yolk look? This was popular on the Audis... I'll probably chase that as a mod too. TIA.

Glad you are happy with the lights!!!

The outer ring will always be dimmer due to the design of the headlight, but we designed the LUX H8 V3 to make the outer ring as bright as possible

I agree. Even with the oem bulbs, the outer ring is slightly dimmer than the inner rings.

That would be a nice surprise but doubt BMW changed anything.
