LUX V3 LED Angel upgrade

I fitted these at the weekend and I am very pleased with them indeed. I have tried various bulbs including GP Thunders and Arc Angels as well and weislite (not sure of the spelling) LED's and some multiple LED ebay version form Japan. None of them compare to the LUX V3. They are easily visible in daylight and at night they are very good match to the OEM colour and look just like they are meant to be there. I am sure if you waited for the brightest day of the year and positioned the car in the worst place possible it would be hard to see them but in the real world they are very noticable and a definate upgrade to stock or other bulbs and LED upgrades available. The quality of build is very good too and I really like the robust metal housing, it just "feels" quality.

Great to hear. I did some research and went straight for LUX V3 and very happy as well.

It's definitely a case of you get 'you what you pay for'.

Trust me when I say this really is the best one I have tried and I am very happy with the result. As I work 55 hrs per week I don;t get the opportunity to take daytime pictures until the weekend and then it weather dependant. If I get the chane to do it I will post a picture or 2 but can't make any promises

Congrats!!! These really are the best all around option for us. I've tried them all as well and i always come back to the LUX V3's...After trying the latest Alpine HID kit I got from my friend (Which i will be putting up for sale soon), I can honestly say now that the LUX is the very best!
