What exactly is wrong? I haven't installed these exact LED bulbs, but I've installed other H8 bulbs and HID kits with ballasts so I'm familiar with the set-up... but nobody on here can really help you unless you tell us how they're not working right to begin with..

However, it does seem that many people have had problems with these bulbs, either with errors in the software, or with the actual installation.. Maybe they're not the best quality? (I wouldn't know since I don't have them)

i finaly found instructions online! mine did not come with any.. you have to adjust the leds themselfs and since these bulbs are universal for a few bmws they need to be on the right setting or only 1 angel eye ring will light up bright and the other will be dull. it seems that i have it figured out ill post when i get them in and working the proper way

I tried them as well and they suck!!! I hate that I paid as much as I did when I could have just bought the LUX kit and been done.

Just installed a set for a friend today. Same deal. Very little light to the outer ring - not at all visible in daylight.
I'm positive they are indexed properly. I have Weisslicht's in my E90 and they're great, so I recommended the brand and now I feel terrible. I may suggest sending them back.

I have them as well and same deal. I tried the Lux V3 last week and they are a little better, but still not great. They work great in X5s and E90/92 but not our 1 series. Maybe it's just because the rings are a smaller diameter, but that's just a guess....

I think the response would be, thanks for your business! Haha sorry you're actual LEDs don't look like our doctored photo LEDs. Punks...on a separate note, the AiB V4.0 kit looks a lot more promising than even the lux v3. have to see them in person before I jump on that kit tho.....

I have the same problem. tried doing all the adjustments to it and the outer rings are still really dimm. the outer rings are more yellow than white. should of just stuck with HIDs. I contacted tech support at www.bimmian.com/ and they just told me to watch the video on installation. lol
