Sorry guys

getting the new updated parts is taking longer then expected. Once we get them in we'll have them made and shipped within 2-3 days.

Any update have these started shipping for the M's?

I ordered these last week and I received a notification that they shipped yesterday. So I hope that I am getting the right ones that will fit the X5M.

received my shipping notification says 2 to 3 days for the West coast.

treky11 · 07-19-2011, 09:03 PM

same here. hopefully they show up this week and the install is easy.

treky11 · 07-22-2011, 07:52 PM

got mine and they are in! first pic is Lux on left and stock on right.

eggr · 07-23-2011, 07:24 PM

Received mine also. They look much better than the GP Thunders but hard to twist into place.

Jamonge · 07-25-2011, 11:30 AM

How long did the install take you? Are these plug and play? thanks

Tatuaje · 07-25-2011, 12:26 PM

The install is pretty quick. The only thing difficult is turning the bulbs into the locking position. I've got pretty big hands and was only able to twist them a small amount. I very very carefully used a pair of channel-locks to slowly turn them the final amount to the lock position. If you turn the lights on, you can look in and easily tell how much farther you need to turn the bulb.

You're only replacing the angel-eye bulb, the headlight/high-beam bulbs are different. The LUX site has pretty decent directions. The X6/X5M are pretty similar to the posted X5 info. http://luxangeleyes.com/guides/LUX_H8_Install_X5.pdf

mswaz · 07-25-2011, 11:52 PM

I finally figured this out. Actually only took about 10 minutes when all said and done.

Here are some pictures before during and after.

I sent Lux a PM no answer. How much do the cost for X6?

Sorry i was away for the weekend and just got back. the LUX are $245 plus $10 shipping within the USA

Fung · 08-13-2011, 09:34 AM

Got it and installed! Great!
But may I know why the inside ring is
much brighter than the outside ring?

Is it normal working???

virjose · 08-19-2011, 12:25 PM

^^ I believe it is because the inner ring is closer to the mounting point of the bulb, so more light goes through this one and less gets transferred to the outer ring (through the clear plastic tube)

+1 - that is exactly correct. the outer ring is designed to be dimmer.

Looks great

JDougM3 · 09-14-2011, 12:30 AM

Brought home my X5M tonight and immediately set out to install these LUX LEDs. I can't for the life of me get them to turn as much as they should to lock in. Are channel-lock pliers the best means of doing so? Has anyone left them merely tightened by hand without problems?
