lol do you know how many people have bought lux kits? i'm pretty sure they are the most popular option unless you go the oss route which costs money. the price is for both sides...

Seriously? It doesn't say it comes with both sides?

What planet are you living on?

My V4's in the my old e90 lights were amazing. I will probably be running these on the new setup as well.

Hey sorry you got the wrong impression from our website. they come with a set of bulbs and only 1 is needed per headlights. As well i'm not sure what your referring to about the overheating because we never had an issue with this in our V3 lights which were available for about 2 years, if not more. Please feel free to send me a PM or an e-mail if you have any questions though.

He followed me during our road trip and it's gorgeous! Pics don't do justice unfortunately. Those are significantly brighter than V3s

^ Great Thanks! Pics look good, but wonder if that's under direct sunlight or not

V3 can't even see under daytime lighting

Hope so. The oem lights look horrible on white. Why in the hell did BMW keep the yellow halo on the M3?

I have the V4s, and they are barely visible during the day (if at all). Still awesome if you are just replacing the bulb.

Lux,

Sorry if this has been reposted on another page but I see many people saying how much brighter these are. What are the mechanical specifications that make these brighter? Different LED class, better modules, more wattage, etc? Trying to justify the cost over used V3's since I would set them at say 5700k like above and just leave them.

Well its a bit of everythign that makes these different honestly. We ahve redesigned the shape and orientation of the light ( with a US Patent pending), but LED's are newer and more efficient, and the electronics are 100% new and operate much better with the car to ensure they are 100% brightness all the time. As well we are pushing the LED's a bit harder thanks to our new heat sink design.

5200 is where I have mine set and they look great. I followed a 335 guy here at work out of our parking garage and the next day he was in my office asking what I was running.
