yeah, everyone prefers the white 6-8k LEDs but I think the Yellow has a unique look, and of course I got the idea from the LeMans 24hr race. I still plan to put yellow angel eyes on my E90M!

Update......
My lights flicker on start up. I know its doing a light check but this shouldn't be happening correct? Anyone else have this problem with the post-recall LUX H8 kit? What do I do to resolve it?

I thought we were supposed to run the pack outside of the housing with the latest update. Is this not the case?

This is a documented issue with 2010+ MY, though not all experience it.

The newest revision of DriverPacks no longer require this. All kits shipping as of 2 weeks ago are cleared for internal mounting.

The AiB system will aim the LED direction towards the reflector housing - which gives uniform distribution around the inner/outer rings.

Specifically can you tell us if the AIB system is immune from this? If it is not, which I suspect it isn't, this means the photo is not a fair comparison at all, showing the best of AIB and the worst for LUX. Move the eyes or camera a bit to one side or the other and the image might be entirely "reversed".

The fiber tubing dictates the final outcome, taking the picture at eye level (which is what most people will be seeing on the road) is best. The same would happen with any lightsource, including HID. Allowing the reflector system to evenly distribute the light keeps things uniform. Three things need to be achieved: 1. Temperature color change 2. Uniform Brightness 3. Daytime viewing AiB can promise all three, LUX is a very close second. Both LED kits keep inside headlamp temperatures safe, unlike HIDs.

We simply have a rare opportunity in which a LUX-equipped vehicle was present for the comparison and answered to the request of another forum member. I'm sure the customer is happy with his current setup, nor do we have any desire to push him towards another direction. I would hope our reputation would support that, we have been very honest and forthcoming when it comes to claims. I have no bad feedback about the LUX kit in which I've made quite clear in previous posts. I had each of my employees come out and ask his opinion on which they preferred - asking them to refrain from answering until everyone saw them and made their decision. Every vote was for AiB. The M3 will be here for a couple more days, you are more than welcome to drop by and see in person.

The bulbs yes, but you conveniently left out the boards, which are the ones that get hot with LEDs . They require heat sinks for a reason. I bet they're up there, or even hotter than stock bulbs with everything inside the housing. And outside the cavity, seal is compromised; a big drawback. There's no perfect solution .

AiB's FTW - compared to everything else I've seen here for the past 2+ months... (Sure OSS' are nice, but $800 for LED's isn't so nice).
Can't wait to come down and see you guys @ EAS Tom....

My AIBs required the drivers to be housed outside. Are we able to get some discount on an upgrade since the drivers being housed outside was a fix and not the original design when I purchased mine.

Yes that is what I was asking earlier just not in such a direct way.

I will check with AiB in the morning to see if there is an upgrade path available.
