LUX 6500K Angel Eyes installed

flavush · 04-02-2012, 04:41 PM

Hi folks

I just installed the LUX AE on my 1M.
Here are some pics.

Best regards,
Flavush

Would it be possible to get a picture without the headlights on? Just the eyebrow and the halos?

Also whats going on with pic 2? Is that because the LUX are actually more blue than the OE eyebrows?

Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!

A little word of wisdom, double tape or velcro the LUX ballast to the back of the headlight casing to avoid an unpleasant Adaptive Headlight failure surprise!!!

Mine failed and I was able to swap the bulbs back to stock before taking it in to the dealer for a free under warranty replacement. However, to avoid any dealers refusing to take it under warranty and paying 1500K for a single adaptive Xenon housing replacement take my advice! ;-)

there is an other option. Stick the ballast on the back of the H8 plug. the case will hold it against it, no where to go for the ballast.
The wiring you can push down on the inside (kidney side) of the headlight unit. There is enough space.

Here are mine outside with direct sunlight(and one in the shade too). AE 6500k. Hope this helps.

Amnizu · 04-06-2012, 01:40 PM

Awesome! Those look great, thanks!

RimasRS · 04-06-2012, 02:14 PM

I'm just confused I guess there is no way to do oem rings inner and outer same brightness or at least outer bright enough to see it in normal day light.
But thanks guys for sharing pics it really does look good though I still think way to overpriced for freaking few leds.

It really has way more to do with the design of the AE rings. The lightbulbs (H8 or Lux...which ever you choose) connect closest to the inner ring...so more light is transferred to the inner ring and then reflected to the outer rings. Lux are very visible in the day...I run them as DRL because they ARE so bright, and I like the look. Lux are great...and definitely the way to go if you're looking for a really bright, noticeable, whiter light for your AE's.

Well, I think they give you a certificate guaranteeing that you'll get laid up to 20% more, and you'll have less painful shits in the morning. Seems to be working so far...

I kid...
