Does the heat sink stay in under the cap in which the wiring is for the headlight?? Wouldn't it melt the other wires??

IIRC: Aib's are stored externally, outside of the headlight housing...

+1 on both counts... I've had mine for over 2yrs even functioning in -25F winter temps. RECOMMENDED

My LUX will be here next week, I'm excited! I've done the HID bulbs in the past, but they yellowed my rings.

Glad I came back to this thread I started. Good info. The LUX LEDs look good. But is the other solution LED? Why would you need a ballast to run LEDs? That's why I thought they were HID. HIDs yellowing rings? I believe it. Has anyone simply checked out the bulbs in the new non-M3 cars? What is the OEM solution and can it be added to the M3? This is becoming an interesting thread.

AIB DriverPacks are stored within the headlamp.

by driver pack, you mean the little black plastic box? so the whole thing stays inside the headlamp?

That's correct, there are no pieces of the kit that remain outside the headlamp assembly.

if you want brighter or as bright as the newer led oem ae's you have to go with oss or ls3, but then you'll have to open up your headlights to get those installed... take some time to search, especially e90posts and you will find pics...specifically in the lux vendor thread of e90posts....

Well, I appreciate that. However I didn't notice the light to be out. (might have been at an intermittent stage, bulb error was just on a couple times then off). But this looks a little dangerous to me, had it melted and started a fire I'd be in a bit more trouble. At this point I'm a little concerned about putting these in a brand new car when I get it later this week.
