New LUX H8 V4 angel eyes
Just saw that on their page. Do you guys think it will be significantly better than the V3 ?

so this is just my opinion on all these bulb replacements, so i'm not ragging on any particular line or brand or distributor, etc:
These bulb replacements will never get close to the OEM LCI brightness. To duplicate OEM LCI lights you need a complete new LED bulb system. What I've observed is that these bulb replacement systems, simply just increases light temperature higher and higher in each new version (along with other hardware adjustments to support higher outputs & other improvements). As your eyes cannot tell the minute differences between these outputs and sunlight (6500k), you actually won't see them in daylight as they're the similar color temperature as sunlight, makes sense? You'll need blubs that are straight up blue, or light temps WELL above 12000k. Of course at night, they'll all look fantastic. Again, just to recap, if you want the OEM LCI look that's in all non-M cars, then you'll need a new LED lighting system. There are vendors on here that offer these systems. edit: also, pictures will never capture these outputs properly. The camera lens filters a lot of light so it's not too accurate for comparative purposes. You need to see these bulbs in person to judge how they look Last edited by mdosu; 05-08-2013 at 09:00 AM.. |

For a plug and play, and for the price, LUX is a good deal. If you're looking for the 3 series LCI look, you need to go OSS.

Nothing will match OEM, but LUX is by far the closest/best you can get.

just ordered this. Will post pics side-by-side with our 2012 X5 which has the white angel eyes. The X5 has a bluish hue so it would be interesting to get LUX to closely match it.
