New Lux 180

Butters03 · 12-31-2016, 09:04 AM

So after having my driver side angel eyes out for a couple of months and having literally everybody that I know feel the need to point it out to me I finally jumped on board the Lux train.

I got the new 180 lights that just came out all of four days ago. The install took maybe only 15 minutes. They look absolutely fantastic and I cannot commend Lux enough for such a quality product.

This is middle of the day but at night it's like having a whole extra set of headlights. I love them

Just installed mine today. Quick and easy

Did anyone notice the shitty wire insulation BMW used from the auto leveler to the H8 connector tho? I had to improvise and reword the drivers side. Pain in my ass but I wasn't about to open the assembly and stuff

Really 15 minutes? Every other post I read on these say it's somewhat a PITA to install. That's honestly what is keeping me from buying them.

Probably noobs whose first DIY is a bulb change.

c1pher · 05-19-2017, 07:22 PM

Well, then it will be easy for me. Is 7000k legal?

1and1 · 05-19-2017, 07:33 PM

Easy or not, be very careful reinstalling the cover!

One of the more popular topics is "new angel eyes and now headlight errors" after a hard rain or car wash. Much as I hate to say it this falls into the "ask me how I know" category...

Yes these are perfectly legal and will appear as a nice bright white color and not blue at all.

I guess I should get these from Amazon since they will arrive tomorrow.

Not a PITA at all... Literally took me 15 minutes. Passenger side is a breeze, maybe 5 minutes. Then spent 10 minutes on the Drivers side only because I had to remove the air intake to get to the light housing with my meaty hands. LOL.

c1pher · 05-24-2017, 03:49 PM

Yeah I got meaty hands too. Maybe get my daughter or wife to do that side if I bribe them.

1and1 · 05-24-2017, 04:26 PM

I suspect the job is easier on a 128 without the vac cans behind the passenger light...

Nah.. Think it is a longer install on the 28. still have to remove the entire intake housing. I don't think you have to do that for the N54 do you?

Removing the air box takes like 15 minutes at most.

I just installed these myself. I just purchased my 135is with 33k miles, so I don't know the full history of the car. While working around the headlights though, I found this connection unplugged on the passenger side. I have no clue where it goes, and I have no CELs, or lights on the dash indicating an issue. Anyone know what this is? Should I be concerned?

c1pher · 07-05-2017, 06:10 AM

That's the plug to your turbo. If you think the car was already fast, just wait until you plug that in.

I'm kidding. I have no clue. If it's part of a standard harness and not needed, you'd think it would have a cover on it.

I remember reading about another 135is owner finding an unplugged connection in the engine bay. It has to do with PPK2 and the old fan and wiring.

It's talked about here ---->>>> http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...t#post19346618

Thanks so much! I was looking at it and the fuse box, and it was fastened by zip ties, I was thinking it was some wild car audio wiring left behind or something. Now I can rest easy haha.
