Lux H8 installed

The Lux H8 are coming today, and I have installed.


Here are Photos with the Lux H8 on the 1M Coupe.
By the first Photo, you see the left side the OME and on the right Side the Lux H8.

Sorry Mpower2, any cred you had has been lost since I saw what was in the windscreen at image #4.

The rings do match the eyebrow very well however.

Did you use the install guide on the Angel Eyes website for the E92?

If so, is fitting them to the 1M exactly the same?

Nice pictures!

The back cover of the headlight are different as in the manual but there should be no problem.

The cover is like this in 1M.
Open the metal clip to the direction of the arrows.

Hey mpower looks good. Would it be possible to get a front-on shot with the headlights on? Would like to see it with all the lights on... wonder if all the white/blue light gets muddled

Do you have adaptive headlights ? It seems the Lux H8's power supply can cause problems with adaptive headlights. Any experiences with it ?

Just be careful with placement of the power supply. Make sure that it is secure and does not destroy any seals in the housing.

mpower2 and Gtrain, thanks for your replies, but did you actually installed them with adaptive headlights ?

It definately looks great, I really want these Lux angels too !
But I'm still hesitating, since I don't know how to secure the power supply. Do you use a nylon strap or ... ?

So it may give some problem with adaptive headlights.
