Angel eyes??

[07'335iAlpine]

I recently just got a '10 135i, i like everything except the damn yellow/orange looking angel eyes. My Mom just got a '12 X5 and her lights are F****ing sick looking. A very clean white look, and very visible day and night. Was wondering if anyone can tell me which kit i could get that would get me that same super white Halo as the new LCI X5's. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Pics would be a great help as well.

but this is roughly a list from best to worst (IMO).

• Bavarian LS1
• Alpine HID Angel Eyes
• LUX
• Bulb replacement

+1. Bavarian is like 2 1/2 times the price of alpine though but there is a reason and i do admit they are the best. I have alpine and i love it quite alot it kinda depends on what you want to spend.

id say lux and alpine go side by side depdning on what your looking for. alpines are BRIGHT. like WOW. very bright. lux are not as bright but rings are more defined (because theyre not as bright). they look great at dawn hehe

We offer the LUX H8 v3 angel eyes which are a pure white 6500k color

I'm also in the market to upgrade my stock angel eye set up. I hate the dull yellowish color of the stock bulbs. I think that the LUX angel eye set up would be the best fit for me, It's my understanding that alot of forum members approve and back this particular manufacturer. I also like how everything can be enclosed within the headlight housing. No wires or heatsinks having to be located outside the actual lens. Thanks for the info on this post.

[07'335iAlpine]

to LUX who posted. how much is that set up? id be willing to order like yesterday lol. and to you other guys i don't think i have heard of bavarian ls1. thanx for all the input. i did the search but didnt find it that useful.

[RaihaX]

do a search on LUX - there is a thread with price and everything...

[07'335iAlpine]

I had a few questions for you. was wondering if you had a contact number or if you could contact me. tried to send you a pm but didnt see an option 2. i get out of work @ 5:30. im in texas, you could shoot me a text or reach me at 1(361) 585-3342.
thanx in advance for all your help.

Jacob.

Do you own one? Alex sells it with or without pre-drilled headlight caps that come with rubber grommets that completely seal the headlights. In my year and a half of ownership I have never had one incident where any moisture got into the headlight while I ran these lights. Nobody flashes their high beams at me thinking they're too bright. Never got pulled over for them being too bright. I have had a few problems with the ballasts shorting, but of the V3 kits, alex has sold about 50 and so far has had no problems from anybody with these higher-quality kits shorting, and positive feedback from everybody.

Also, if you buy anything with a Kelvin rating higher then 6000k & your getting less light output not more... 4200-6000k is the best for good bright light output, over that and the light \brightness level drops 30-50%...

You are right in this sense. Nobody posts daylight pics of their LUX. I know LUX is way ahead compared to other LED options, but it's hard for LEDs with higher color temps to look nearly as bright as stock lights when running the same wattage. When I first found this thread I purposely scoured the forums looking for LUX daylight pics, because I was genuinely interested. If they looked good, I would buy a set to compare to Alpine HID's since nobody has done this before, but it's useless if LUX aren't truly visible at daytime. All the "daylight" pics are in a parking garage, or at dawn/dusk, or where the sun is behind the car and the headlights themselves are in the shadow.

Here's my Alpine V3 kit in direct, actual sunlight at about 1 PM:



I have not seen a single pic of LUX in a similar setting. But then again, if anyone is worried about the reliability of these kits, then I guess it's not the way to go..

i posted a thread some time ago about my lux bulbs "not working" during the hours of 6-6. i guess no one got it they look great at dawn/dusk though

I just did mine

Has anyone tried either the bulbs or LEDs from BMS?

[debadgedbmw1]

Im looking to convert my 128 ugly halogen non angel eyes to the xenon/angel eyes or something better. Bmw strongly advised not to go aftermarket (oem retrofit too expensive,time consuming) as they have seen horror stories, mostly electrical. I was thinking of Depot from **********s.com ? Any input greatly appreciated

I love LUX!

Look into Bavarians LS1 DEPO special order.

I was considering a depot option from them or **********s. However, I have been strongly recommended not to convert my oem halogens from BMW dealership as they have seen electrical issues.

That looks GREAT! I assume V3 hasn't given you any trouble or anything? The Alpine kit looks awesome , but everyone seems wary about the reliability..
