I want to know this too.. How can they fit the X5 and not the X6??

Doesn't make sense.... I don't know why but I have a funny feeling they do fit...

Response from suppliers:

Quote:
The heat sinks don’t fit properly in the headlight assemblies on the X6. They don’t use the same hardware as the X5 does. This is from what the manufacturer tells us.

you will problaby come back to the LUX in the end, you may find the other brand are not very bright. someone did a comparison and the LUX were about 3-4 times brighter.

I have Lux H8 v2s in my e70 that will be traded in within the next month for a '12 x6. I'll be taking out the Lux's (along with all the other LEDs in the car) before it goes to the dealer.

If I send my v2s in for the v3 power upgrade (so that they can go inside the headlight housing), will I be able to use them on my x6?

Also, can I send them in for an upgrade now, or do I have to wait until after the 29th for that?

he current LUX H8 you have will not fit in your X6. we are working on changes to the aluminum housing so that it does fit. we are currently waiting for the new housings to verify that they fit first. The power supply has nothing to do with them fitting correctly in the X6. Thanks
