how much did you enjoy your lux v3s?

Nicname · 03-09-2012, 08:57 PM

saw the thread about the new 5000k lux v3's and had everything checked out but hesitated and told myself I would sleep on it. Just wanted to know if this is one of those smaller mods you end up really loving ( black kidneys grills and reflectors were subtle but ended up really changing the car in my eyes)

SoTempted · 03-09-2012, 09:15 PM

I just installed mine yesterday, excited but haven't driven the car since... I'll let you know. I may even go for a drive tonight still, just to see them in full effect.

kmarei · 03-09-2012, 09:41 PM

I love them
Easy to install vs HID
looks oem
No issues
Well worth the cost
And that's something rare in the overpriced M market

roddyc · 03-09-2012, 10:31 PM

Very much? I find myself inching up on darker cars at stoplights so I can see them in the reflection. I have the original 6K and don't think they are blue at all, but maybe a touch whiter than the headlights.

My friend has the GP Thunders and there is no comparison, they are about 20x cheaper and look it.

joshparzi · 03-09-2012, 10:52 PM

i definitely enjoy them. theres nothing like unlocking your car at night seeing the angel eyes light up and thinking damn

is that really what my car looks like

Foodle · 03-09-2012, 11:32 PM

Very happy. Car should have come this way.

Although install is a tad difficult if you don't have very small hands. I'd suggest using a tool for the final tightening.

Love mine! Never gets old seeing them come to life or looking at their reflection off other cars in traffic

Nicname · 03-10-2012, 01:43 AM

I think I'll be putting in my purchase tomorrow !!

drew313 · 03-10-2012, 03:00 AM

I have the standard LUX V3 and it's definitely worth it.

MisterM3 · 03-10-2012, 02:07 PM

i love mine. i cant believe i waited so long to install them

Boostin FD · 03-10-2012, 05:55 PM

I loved mine until one burned out after 3 months of use... It took 2 weeks for company to write me back because Every few months its closed for about a month. It's been 3 weeks since I sent it to get repaired and still didn't get them back. Apparently "there is a problem with tracking my package" and they don't know when will I get it...

As far as product, I thinks it's great.. As far as service... I have to say they could do better.

SoTempted · 03-10-2012, 10:55 PM

Terrible rainy night time iphone pic but at least you can tell how bright they are. The color makes it look very OEM... A good thing.

Daytime...

SoTempted · 03-10-2012, 11:31 PM

Pure White!

Maseroche · 03-11-2012, 03:01 AM

I couldn't be happier or more satisfied. As far as a true plug and play solution, you can't touch these!

Sam_Fisher · 03-11-2012, 11:23 AM

I'm pretty happy as well. I find myself often parked in front of large store windows at night, so that when I return to the car, the lights come to life as I light up the engine, reminding me how slick my car looks

That said, I wonder how good / bad the new Alpine HID angel eyes look like in person. They run for $179 / pair, which is cheaper than LUX, but this same reason also worries me a bit.

HK8888 · 03-11-2012, 01:37 PM

One of the best mod.

Moxie · 03-11-2012, 01:46 PM

Had them since 2009 - decent mod but sometimes think about going back to stock to change up a bit.

Nicname · 03-11-2012, 01:49 PM

Bought the 5000k lights! Can't wait to install em!

TTG · 03-12-2012, 03:45 PM

TRY...M3 · 03-12-2012, 08:01 PM

corrado79 · 03-13-2012, 01:15 AM
