Yea buy the "cheap chinese crap"... lol make up your mind.

I just bought lux's 2 weeks ago, and they are worth every penny and come with a 1 year warranty. Even though they said out of stock when I ordered them they were at my house within a week. Very good customer service no complaints so far.

While the physical design might look similar to LUX H8 V3's there are some things you should know about them

- The power supply is not fused at all. in case of a power surge or other failure of the unit it could very easily short out causing electrical damage, or even melt itself causing significant damage inside the headlight compartment

- These units never run at full brightness, and dim to 1/3 total power when the headlights turn on. While being rated at 1500 lumen these product at best 230-250 lumen while the headlights are on. The brightest they measured them was at 550 - 580 lumen.

- No EMI Protection which means there could be significant radio interference.

LUX H8 V3 LED Angel eyes do Not dim, are fully fused and protected, and do not produce EMI. just make people aware of what they are looking into buying and be aware of the potential dangers with these.

Radio interference and TPMS errors have been caused by the off-branded ones and they have no warranty. Some don't have any issues. Choice is yours.
