LUX H8 V3: Another happy customer!
I know the price is kinda steep on these but if you want the 'new' style LED look that BMW is introducing on their newer model vehicles, the LUX H8 V3 are the way to go.
As most of us know, the stock halos in direct sunlight, the out rings are practically invisible while the inners are adequate brightness the color is just the wrong temp. I took this with my iPhone with no sun and at dusk in the rain. OEM: And here is a couple of pics in direct sunlight with a point and shoot camera. LUX H8 V3:

I was a bit curious, but not curious enough to do some research.
Why not simply get the new 1 series' OEM bulbs so they are an EXACT match of the "new" headlights? |

Since i've had these lights installed on my car I have noticed that when starting the car the angel eyes both flicker for about 10 seconds and then go off.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I've had a fault with the passenger side (RHD) DRL on three occasions, which goes away when I turn off and on the DRLs via iDrive. Anyone has had any issues like this?

Looks awesome
But I think Lux angel eyes are way overpriced.. I would never buy a LED solution for that kind of money. I will get a xenon kit instead, same price as the Lux but brighter |

they are not the cheapest, but I'm happy with mine !
Installation took me 30 min. I was struggling putting the Lux bulb back in at the passenger side... But just be patient and it will be OK. They look awesome. No errors here. |

Because they're supposed to look like a dull amber. Thus the mod.
