E92 Lux review and pics.
Installed the Lux kit for the E92, going to review it real quick and give the pros and cons of the kit.
The highlight of the kit is that it gives a very bright and very defined rings, especially the outer rings. From far away there is no blob effect and has very sharp and defined lines. The color is pure white, perhaps future variants will offer different tones but the color is pure white and looks great. The installation is very similar to Camaross' installation process. But the kit is plug and play, obviously its a bit more invasive than the AngeliBright kit, but in terms of price and brightness you cant beat Lux. Now ill let the pictures do the talking...I couldnt get any direct sun pics but I can tell you the only con would be that they are not as bright in direct sun as the HIDs. But all LED kits seems to suffer a bit from this. Here is a video, not the best of quality since its from a standard point and shoot camera, but you get the point on brightness, and there is no blob effect in real life, its so bright that it over saturates my crappy camera.

These look good. I'm debating on buying a kit now or waiting a bit for the bugs to appear.

np Marc, this is a must have kit for every E92! So far the best alternative in aftermarket angel eye lightning.

Haha, sorry Marc. I am just too lazy and busy. We went for a local group photoshooting today with 3 AW E92 M3, 1 Black E92 M3 and 1 SG E92 335i. All AW M3 has a differnt direction of mods and the black M3 has the brembo kits on. And the 335 has some nice mods on it too. |

Never seen AIB in real life, but at certain angle's all LED/HID/Halogen will seem uneven, just the design of the AE...

Thats due to the angle of the camera. Any and ALL angel eyes will come out that way in the pitures - Its simply due to the design of the headlights themselves.
This topic has been mentioned quite a few times in other threads and no offense, but you should know this since you sell E92 angel eyes as well - One of the pictures in your own threads shows the same thing FYI...... http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216579 |

Haha yea, they are realllly bright at dusk/night hence why its harder fir a standard point n shot camera to capture the light like our eyes.

do you mind taking a shot of the engine bay or particularly at the lid where you have to drill holes at?
