Questions:
  1. How hot do these get?
  2. Has anyone compared these to the Angel iBright v3.0?
  3. Has anyone with a 2011 M3 noticed any flicker?

I would recommend not touching them if they have been on for more then 20 minutes because they will be too hot to touch. It will be best to wait 5-10 minutes for them to cool off.

Didn't post pics because I couldn't capture well with my camera but all I can say is perfect. These are not too bright and absolutely don't bleed in the inner rings. Perfect daylight driving lights. Same color light as xenon headlights. VERY easy install just insert the base first. I zip tied wires away from the heat sink just in case. I can't compare to the v3 ibright but I would guess it wouldn't be better than lux. The price, the look, the install and I am VERY satisfied and I am very picky. Great product.

Before beating up the Vendor, how about you find out where they are? Transportation issues can arise. I got mine today.

Just installed mine and I'm impressed. First thing i noticed was how much brighter they were than my AIBs. When you first look at them, it seems like the inner ring is a lot brighter than the outer ones. But if you step back about 20 feet and look at them straight on, they are completely even.

Compared to my AiBs,

Lux were cheaper, brighter, seems better made, completely enclosed inside the headlight and worked on my first try, so they're also more reliable.

My AIBs were the biggest POS I've ever purchased. Went through 3 sets of them, my current 4th set just crapped out. I hate them so much I don't want them replaced under warranty and refuse to sell the single operative one out of common human decency.

These Lux v3 seems like a winner.

I just installed mine tonight as well. Will wait until tomorrow to take some pics of them though, at least until I get some daylight.

I went from the Alpine HID kit to these. While they are not as bright, they are still very nice and require no extra wiring or parts. Plus, now with an LED I shouldn't have to worry about any yellowing on my angel eyes due to the heat.

How about not commenting if you have no clue what you are even talking about. I paid $25 extra to have these overnighted. I paid Thursday night to have them sent Friday so they were here today. I was guaranteed 12pm delivery by the vendor via the USPS. Express mail is a guaranteed service. They are no "transportation issues." They aren't coming on a horse. Now here is it Saturday and they aren't here. They are in Massachusetts. My guess is the vendor missed the cutoff date for overnighting them. All I know I was guaranteed something and they aren't here, you'd be angry, too, if you paid $35 for shipping and it basically is going to take 4 days to arrive.

I would be angry if I knew for a fact that the vendor screwed up, but it sounds like you don't have that info yet. USPS is about as reliable as a Yugo. As far as no "transportation issues", every shipper suffers from them - without warning. I used to work for UPS.

Nevertheless, sorry you didn't get your Lux.

Don't order end of the week and expect it to arrive on a Saturday.

Rarely do you get a package on a Saturday.

We have already talked about this via e-mail, i do not see the need to make comments about on this forum.

You had placed an order at 8:00PM Thursday night, and I had these in the mail for you 8:00am Friday morning. I would like to know how many other vendors will stay up that late processing an order for you. I mailed these lights exactly as you asked, overnight. Unfortunately USPS must have had a problem with these lights and they did not get there. Please do NOT make false accusations about me when you do not have the correct details

Here is my records of the USPS tracking information:

Service Type:
Express MailŪ (Next Day)
Package Size:
Package/Thick Envelope
Weight:
1 lbs. 0 oz.
Mailing Date:
Mar 3, 2011
