Install took about 10 min. The default setting was too blue for me so I went with 5700.

They are bright in the shade, maybe as bright as OEM yellow halos in the sunlight. I love them. No more Cow Urine colored rings against Alpine White!!!


Love Em


Here are some pics including out in the sun...

Mine should be at my door when I get home tonight so i'll slap them on and post up pictures comparing them to the current AiB V4.5. I was going to go with 5200 because I'm not a fan when it gets too blue. You'll be able to test the real color out after the sun sets.

Edit: Ever consider changing out your corner indicator bulbs that have a yellow yoke to the clear LED bulbs that illuminate Yellow? I did and love it, cleans up the front end a ton and the bulbs (GP Thunder) are only 30 bucks tops.

I like the indicators and reflectors, it breaks up the front a bit. Otherwise that much single color makes the front look too big to me. I like how the space is broken up some

Lowflight - your pictures in the previous post were taken wayy to close to the car. The outer angel eyes are not visible at the angel of the picture. Try to step back 20 feet or so because that is the only way BMW Designed these rings to be visible.

Do you offer any options to change the yellow/amber tiny corner bulb to LED ? I Hate the way it looks when the lights are on at night...

Just replied to your e-mail. the outer rings are only visible from certain angles and i recommend stepping back from the car about 20 or more feet and that will allow for the rings to be fully visible


Starting 9/2/2013 the LUX H8 V4 angel eyes are on sale for $225 + Shipping. All orders are ready to go out in the mail right away!! Please PM us for any questions

I had the same observation. My Aib V4.5s didn't have the same noticeable difference in outer ring brightness as these during the day. The build quality is very good in comparison.

What temperature do you have your lights set at? I'm at 5200K but thinking of going with 5700K for a while and seeing if I like the change or if helps some with ring brightness consistency.

I would manage to order one week before the sale started

On a side note the packaging, timely shipping and overall build quality were very very good.

I'm at 5700k just for outer ring visibility purposes. the best setting would probably be 5200k to have the "pure white, hot ring" that's close to OEM as possible without any hint of blue. 5200k during the late afternoon in and in shade looks nice. 5700k is fine tho for now

Considering it takes 2 seconds to adjust I'll try 5700k starting tonight for a few days. If I'm not feeling it i'll go back to 5200k.

Outer rings are only viewable from certain angles, regardless of what light source you have in them. This is the design of the BMW headlight unfortunately.

All orders are out in the mail as well

International shipping is normally around 6-10 business days with USPS Shipping. We do also offer Express international shipping which is 3-5 day.
