OSS LED vs. ??? LED
Hey there guys. I currently have HIDs and I love the look of them but they have given me problems since day 1! 90% of the time the left one doesnt turn on until I manually turn the DRLs off and on a few times. Its kind of embarrassing having to do that with passengers in the car.
So, I am thinking my next big upgrade will be true LED angel eyes (not Lux or AiB). I know that OSS makes LED angels but I remember seeing another vendor that did so as well (and cheaper too). I cant find the thread but the vendor also offered a black out option too. Do any of you guys have an idea of what I am talking about? Can anybody provide a review? Link? Price? Info? Thanks....

When you say true LEDs you mean that the angel ring itself is replaced with an LED like the OSS? Because the LUX solution IS an LED, it's just in the same shape as a bulb and is plugged in like a bulb, and it doesn't replace the angel eye ring itself.
Not sure what you're looking at, because the only LED solutions I know of are OSS, LUX, and AiB.

Bav X offers them too but the rings aren't the same size as OEM and they aren't really that cheaper.

Yea just make sure you like how they look. Personally I think they look bad and cheap with the small outer ring.

Bav X told me that they are looking for a new supplier and that their LS3 won't be in stock until December. =(

OSS is still the best and what BavX and ACM copied from, but I understand the draw for those products for people local to them.

i have LS3 V1s with the full circular outer rings. The LS3s originally were based off OSS, but were redesigned to achieve the full rings the OSS couldn't with their design– and have a few more LEDs in the rings. I personally like that design better, but to each their own... and yea, people supposedly wanted the larger outer rings so they stopped carrying those.
Had one of the first LS3s on my 335 and then transfered to my M3– still working great and had zero problems

There's some photos here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=593313 And then a youtube video of the welcome lights with them (look to the reflection under the lights for the beaded style look that you get).
