Lux install on Alpine White X5M

TimZ · 08-27-2011, 01:43 PM

So while many others in the city were going crazy at the local supermarkets and certain others evacuating, I finally got around to installing the new lights I've had for some time. The new look is just amazing, really gives it a new look. Was it worth the price? Hell yea it was!!

The overall install was not difficult at all. The only hard part was getting my hand inside the small access hole where the bulb was located. If you have any questions feel free to ask
Some iPhone pics, couldn't get pics outside because of the weather:

Right now I have the stock wheels on them. Looking at getting a set of TSW nurburgring for the winter setup and then might go hre or adv.1 for summer not sure yet

I remember test fitting these for Marc on the X6 and if I am not wrong; you can see where you are putting the bulb through the smaller light if you look through the headlight. Is that correct??

yes thats right. makes it much easier looking through the headlight and seeing if it locks in correctly

Yea he is right but I did not look in through my headlights to see if I'm aligned good, it was an easy install eitherway

Lux looks great on your X5! Provides an even more menacing look.

They weren't easy at all on the E90. Its even worse on the Diesel with all the extra stuff in the way.
