Very nice! When I see a poor bmw with jaundiced eyes I feel sorry for it because it's owner doesn't love it.

Thinking about doing a replacement on my stock 12 X5M. What's the major difference between the Lux V4 and what the OP bought? I thought Lux was the popular one to go with?

Thats the proper way to do it. None of these aftermarket bulbs look enough like the real thing.

Lux v4 has the color temp adjustment.. It can be set at your own favorite color.. The led headlight on the 2013 model is way much better...it looks more aggressive on the angel eye from any angle.. Some member in here has their headlight modded into that...
I just wish the kit will sell for lower compare to the current price of $5000 a pair.

They all look fine indoors.
A day light pic would be more telling.

You guys are getting confused between the h8 angel eye upgrade and the over $5k led headlight upgrade...

Yeah the Lux are pretty good, can't find any faults with them but the LCI full LED headlights look so sharp that the LUX can't even compare. Only problem is the cost to retrofit just isn't worth it IMO. It would be nice if we could get discounted group buy pricing from a vendor if enough people were interested

The EAS site shows 2 LED bulbs.

Will those 2 light both Angel Eyes on both sides or do I buy 2 kits?

Do both the EAS and LUX flicker during shut down?

Do they fade on when powered up?
