looking for Angel Eyes?

crunchingnumbers · 12-27-2011, 06:35 PM

Installed my Lux angel eyes yesterday. First trick is to have very small hands. Pax side took a while but once I bothered to note that the 3 tangs were slightly different sizes

it was relatively easy even with my big hands.

Well worth the install- looks far better.

1 quick question that arises then....

is HID or the latest Lux brighter ??

surely HID (alpine or other brand for H8 BMW Corona Rings) has gotta be brighter ???

HID is brighter, however is is uneven lighting and the inner ring becomes blinding. with the LUX Angel Eyes the two rings are almost even brightness which is more appealing.

hey, thanks for that feedback

quick one - brightness wise

BMW OEM LED - On LCI and above
vs
LATEST LUX - For Pre LCI E70 etc

on a scale of 1-10 (for each), how do they compare...... & which is overall brightest ??

thanks

If OEM LED is 10, then Lux is 3-4
OEM can be seen on very bright sunlight from hundreds of yards away (judging by X5, X3, 5 series)
They are very-very bright
Lux is kind of like old halos in brightness, just white in color

Direct comparison i had when my father's new X3 was next to my X6 with Lux

Another thing to add is that - if you look at your rings from an angle (maybe 45 degrees), you will see the center rings being brighter and distorted.

This has nothing to do with LUX. This is how the rings are designed. The new LCI rings do not have this problem. The light is distributed very evenly.
