It does look very nice. How do you feel that they aren't as good as the LUX? just brightness? Some people were saying that they don't necessarily want ultra bright, just whiter and these seem to fit the bill at a considerably better price than the LUX.

for $100, I am very happy with results. I would love to have the super bright ones, but I'm too stock for that look The white looks good and clean. I will have more photos later tonight.

Everything fits inside the OEM caps without any drilling... this is the same way the Lux fit.

Hows the outer ring look? I know cheap LEDs have a hard time lighting up that outer ring...

i wish the outer ring was a little brighter, but it resembles how the stock light set up looks.
I'll get more pics once the sun goes down a little more.

Awesome!! Thanks for posting the pictures, I think they look great for $100.00!! especially if the set up is exactly like the LUX leds in which everything fits inside the light housing. I don't like the set ups that have the ballast outside the light. Looks like a for sure purchase for me! I can upgrade my Arc Angel halogen bulbs to actual LED lights without the high cost of the LUX! Thanks!!

Looks good! Anyone know when these will be back in stock at BMS for 1 series coupe? Or someone from BMS comment on backorder time. I want to order but don't want to wait two months.

Thanks for posting pics!

I'm debating on getting these. I've had gp thunders, alpine Alex HIDs, and currently have Lux. my issue with lux is the box thing that people have had issues with from them getting in the way of the active headlights. I put them under where they are recommended which prevented the check headlights symbol on my dash, but I swear it still effects them. So when you turn on your car the headlights do the vertical calibration thing and I swear they don't go down as much. I hear them kinda struggle too if you put the car in auxiliary mode and turn the headlights on. anyone with lux have the same issue?

Thanks for the pics. I'm going to go with lux because the bms are actually more dim then the stock lights... Thats just silly. I think I'll spend the money and do it right
