Information regarding high temperature days
The LUX H8 V3 power supply has been specially designed to incorporate a temperature sensor. On very hot days the inside of the headlight compartment may reach very high temperatures, and the LUX power supply has been designed to turn off if the temperature reaches 100 degrees Celsius. This thermal cutoff is designed to protect the LUX and prevent damages to occur due to heat.

Interesting...somehow BMW, in their bumbling, has managed to engineer a power supply that can exceed 100F.
Sarcasm aside, it seems like this is a known design defect (aka 'feature') in that the LUX cannot operate in what is commonly used as the operating temp range (ie -40c/-40F up to 125F)....
This 100F spec is simply unacceptable for a real automotive product.
