Hey guys,
So I bit the bullet and went for the LUX angel eyes, I had the amber halos before but felt these looked dull and dated in terms of aesthetics. So I did some research and looked at various brands, it appeared that LUX are the brightest / best quality drop in solution short of having a full headlight modification. There were other alternatives but some of these for example needed parts of the bulb outside of the headlight housing which means they would not be sealed properly via the covers, some seemed to have crap reviews / burn out and really I didn't want to risk any sort of damage to the headlights from the angel eye bulbs.
The LUX are fairly expensive, so I had high expectations. I got round to installing these today after work, after reading all the E9XX installation threads and comments I expected this to be a pain, but it really was very fast, I can only assume the E89 headlight design is more spacious / easier access than the E9XX counterparts. Install took around 20 minutes.
I turned them on and wow, they are bright, seriously bright! So bright I cant look straight at them. These really show how dull the stock halos are. These are bright and fill out the halos with a nice strong pure white. Unfortunately it was dark by the time I had installed so I have not taken any day time pics as of yet, but I will soon.
Here is an image post install outside, note: I had to turn the camera exposure all the way down due to these being so bright to capture these, this makes the ring on the left look more dull than it actually is.
Thanks
