LED angel eyes

[sonus]

Those LED angel eyes on the current 3 series coupes look awesome. Slightly blue, very well-defined, and bright. Is there a way to get that look on a 1er? I think I read that it's not possible to retrofit the 3er's lights into the 1. What gets the closest? LUX, Alpine, none of them...?

You will never get the same exact setup. LUX and Alpine are a great start for reasonable prices. If you are looking to further yourself apart from everyone try looking at BavarianX's LS1 LED rings.

Sorry to jump in, but what if you already have Xenons on your E87 are the lux v3's the best option?

Thanks

No problem, the more the merrier. This is really the same question I have, unless the E87 is very different internally, since I'll have Xenons on my E82.

Have you seen this thread? http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=564695
Couple pics down the bottom that make the LUX look pretty awesome imo.

Hi

Yes seen that thread. My only issue is will you see them in the daylight because if we are all honest that is the look we are after like LCI 3 series etc...

[sonus]

Yeah, that is the big question. I have seen some people saying they're bright in daylight, but I'd rather see a flood of people saying they're bright in daylight

the LUX H8 V3 will be the brightest LED option available for the 1-series. Feel free to send me a PM with any questions

I currently have GP Thunder 7500k and will be ordering LUX soon. I'll take all the daytime pics yall want to compare the two.

The LUX LEDs are definitely the brightest LED option for the 1 series. However, they're still LEDs and not as bright as HID kits. On the plus side, there's no external wiring for you to mess around with.

Both LED and HID options will not look quite as "good" on the 1 series as the HID angels on the new 3, 5, X3 etc because the internals of the headlight make it so one bulb illuminates both rings, so the inner ring, which gets the light first, will always be slightly brighter. However, both Alpine HID kits and LUX LED kits are designed in such a way to minimize this effect as much as possible.

LEDs are notorious for looking great at night/dawn/dusk but being invisible in direct sunlight. From what I have seen from LUX, this doesn't seem to be a very big issue for them, but all I see are pictures which can be easily manipulated to look better or worse. I haven't seen any of them in person.

I went with an HID kit. A little more work to hook it up to the battery, but it was cheaper and always looks great. I'm excited to see some real daylight, direct sun pictures of LUX bulbs, though. They stand the best chance out of all the brands out there to actually be visible in the sun.

just noticed they added 1er pix on their Lux website from the pix here in the forum... they look pretty good, I think I'm going to save up and buy me a set.
