You may be waiting a while. I'm going to give these a try since theyre supposed to be brighter than the V3s.

Eddie135 · 05-08-2013, 05:20 PM

And it is cheaper than than old V3 I have bought...

MrBimmer · 05-09-2013, 07:43 AM

I put my order in yesterday! Can't wait!!!

twin fed · 05-09-2013, 12:25 PM

Already had two go out... Only a matter of time! This set seems to be pretty solid, though.

Really? That sucks! I've had all colors they have offered and never had a issue. Hopefully the quality isn't a issue now.

Just curious though. Do we have to put the switch around our headlight as well? I'm asking because 1 series famous for its tight headlight space. Correct me if I'm wrong

1SER135 · 05-11-2013, 12:50 PM

Lux is saying that they are "significantly brighter then the v3" so I would be very interested to see some pics of these in 5000K-7000K on a 1 series. From what ive read the higher you go the lower the visible light output is so 5000K would probably give you a better DRL.

ShocknAwe · 05-11-2013, 12:57 PM

I wonder if doubling the LEDs is enough to brighten the rings to see them during the daytime. Even though the LUX V3s are the brightest LEDs during the day, they still almost look like they are off when in direct sunlight to me. It would have been nice if they had made them adjustable down to 2000K...

Looking forward to shots in full unobstructed sunlight from an E82 housing!

Bringing them down to 2000K or around there would make them much dimmer. generally speaking the warmer color the white LED the more Dim it gets. It would be much more difficult to get them from 2000K - 12,000K and there would be less output.

Riley1524 · 05-15-2013, 11:30 AM

Marc, how much brighter are these compared to the 5000k? How your stock so far? If your not running to low, I may go ahead and pick up a pair in the next couple of days

ShocknAwe · 05-15-2013, 05:41 PM

Lower temp and dimmer maybe, but visible light decreases dramatically as temps increase. Still, can't wait for a shot from an e82/92 housing!

e82m_van · 05-16-2013, 12:23 PM

group buy?

msv · 05-16-2013, 07:20 PM

Here's the V4 installed on my 2012 135i. Set at 5k.

Much brighter than stock.

Any adaptive error? So you put the switch inside your headlight compartment?

msv · 05-16-2013, 09:27 PM

No error. Took me a while to figure out where I should locate the ballast on the first one. The second one went fast. I stuck the ballast to the inside of the rear cover with velcro. It's located between the low and high beam, oriented vertically with the wires pointing up.

atl_1M · 05-16-2013, 10:27 PM

Thanks for the pics. How do they look in sunlight?

msv · 05-18-2013, 04:27 PM

Photos in full sunlight.
