The main point here is what they look like when the headlights are ON... In this case the H8 GP Thunders or MTECs or Hoens etc are clearly and visually inferior...

My concern is not so much when the headlights are on at night, but how they look in DRL mode during the day. Most of the L.E.D.'s I have seen are barely noticeable in the daylight which defeats the purpose of DRL's. I do have a set of L.E.D.'s which I removed and put the stock bulbs back because of the DRL issue. They looked great at night but could not see them during the day. I am wondering how the LUX truly look in the daylight and off axis.

I am simply here posting my finding....
I too had GP thunder in my E92 2 years ago. In fact, i am prob one of the first guy who post usage of GP thunder.

I know exactly what it looks like when installed. With that being said, no matter what kind of halogen tint bulb you put in, you can tell its a halogen.

The picture sometime made the Halogen type of solution looks like they are white.... but you can tell in person that its a halogen variation of it.

Why? Either they are too blue... Too bluish white,... too yellow....too purple .. Purple tint....etc...

Nothing will compare to a WHITE LED.

Now, why did the stock bulb look visible even in day time as DRL?

COLOR... (Yellow is more visible in day time)
The stupid BMW H8 angel design is crap for outter ring.

So answer your question, will it be visible in day time?

Innner ring is definitely yes. Outter ring off axis is depending on angle.


Stay Tune...... I have a new surprise for people following the LED. I will let you guys know when i receive the new product.
