I know but if you did the LEDS yourself, you should be able to do the trim. Anyway, good luck!

yosheego · 02-04-2011, 03:32 AM

Been pretty busy lately guys and with chinese new years, it will be crazy. I will try to sneak in some good day shots. =D

StayRight · 02-07-2011, 03:40 PM

the link for the vendor on ebay didn't work, do you know how else I could find those?
Looked real good, do you have errors?

vladberca · 02-19-2011, 09:17 PM

Nice pictures in the night! Congrats for that lovely car!

AlexGP · 03-31-2011, 06:33 AM

Hey there, you did not post more pics - mind posting a couple during the day?

ORD-SFO · 01-28-2012, 07:57 PM

Since the eBay posting is no longer active, could you just send or post the model of the bulbs you have. They look great and I've been searching for just those. Thanks.

nummmy · 01-29-2012, 12:19 AM

the lux ones look great and easy to install

Thanks, i appreciate that. I've seen the Lux lights. They look very nice. I'm still holding out for the information on these bulbs. they are exactly what I am looking for.

TazOjla · 02-22-2014, 10:02 PM

Anyone find out about these bulbs??

imbecility · 01-13-2015, 02:57 AM

Brilliant! Love the sexy black. I just got one the same, but I have yet to do any mods on it. Looking forward to more photos from here.

I plan to get my trim painted as well, and you mentioned 3m protection to it. Is that like a sticker or some sort of coating?

tlovidiu · 01-13-2015, 03:34 AM

Nice looking car!

Cattivo · 01-13-2015, 08:51 AM

I bought the LUX and I think they look cheap...I would like to either retrofit my headlights to OEM LED Corona headlights or get what you installed...can you provide a link or any information where you got them

Boys, aftermarket LED bulbs tend to look OK at night or at certain angles. Let's have the OP post some pics during the day and you'll see the outside coronas NOT light up. It doesn't matter what bulb you're using, that's not the limiting factor. It's the design of the headlights themselves. So don't waste a lot of money on this.

+1 yup, that's what I learned with my M3. Simple bulb replacements just can't get the light output that a LED system can generate.

The LED lighting system runs more power and uses more diodes to achieve the light temperature and output.

It's deceiving in the pictures as the camera filters a lot of surrounding light and allows bulb replacements to contrast more than they appear in person.

The difference is more apparent in the daytime. You will barely see the lights with bulb replacements
