As for the other points you made yes the headlights are the limiting factor on how much light goes to the outer rings. The tubes that go to those rings are quite small, but by designing a bulb that focuses the vast majority of the light into those tubes it helps to compensate for this. Technology has changed quite a bit in the last few years with LED's so these are significantly different then the older ones.
the LUX H8 V3 we offered were rated around 750-800 lumen, but they also dimmed slight. the ibright lights you tried were probably around around 600 lumen if i had to make a guess. the new LUX H8 160's are 1600 lumen per side so its a massive difference and 3x brighter then what you tried back then.
Again i'll work on getting the pictures and i'll take them try and more accurately portray what the eye sees ( which is difficult). As well what i can do in the mean time is offer you a 100% money back return on them if you wanted to test them yourself.

I have a 2011 x5 35d and just bought your product last night, the LUX 160's. I was very hesitant to buy since there are no pictures or videos floating around yet of an x5 with the bulbs installed.
What sold me was the 1 year warranty, good customer service, and advancements in new technology. Your bulbs seem to be the brightest on the market right now and that is what I was looking for. The closest thing to a 2012+ OEM LCI.
The YouTube video of the 160's looked stellar. I hope the x5 can mimic that pure white look with the outer ring being so well lit up.
Very anxious to receive them. I already got my tracking info within minutes of purchase last night.
I will post pictures once they are installed. I'm taking out GP Thunder 8500K. I only had them in for a few weeks. The sunlight washed them out completely and once I turned on my headlights they turned yellow. For $15 you get what you pay for...
