I am checking with him to see if he will entertain a trade-up program for V2 buyers, since I got mine not that long ago, 5-6 months.
Thread states they will be out mid-Feb. No pricing info yet. I don't think there was an increase from V1 to V2. I've had the V1s in my M3 for 1.5 yrs and never had a single problem. Strong like bull!

Any idea what kind of changes / improvements we might see in v3?

I just bought v2, they're still shipping... should be here this week!

I've been following LUX and all other LED makers since 2008 when I got my E92. Never once read about someone having melting wires or fires due to a LUX install.

Yeah, dont think i read much about any huge failures associated with lux. Only thing i don't want is to having to leave the fuse and what not left out in bay, just doesn't look clean like that imo.

I had OSS angels on my e90, but sold those when i got rid of the car. So i'm not afraid to purchase something as long as it's worth the price imo..

The new v3 look very clean, and hopefully it start shipping soon! The wait is killing me. =\

Can you share a link where people are talking about v3's? I've searched e90post and google, but can't come up with anything.

It's an upgrade to the power supply and slight fitment modification to allow the bulb to fit different vehicles.

He might allow the power supply to be sold separately and therefore we would just need to cut the wires and solder the new power supply in. Which would allow us to put the whole assembly in the headlight housing.

There was one instance, and who knows the specifics of that, but one instance and they decided to change the setup based on that to ensure no other problems happened.

As much as I hear people raving about LUX leds, I hope this is the last update. Good thing I didn't jump on the version 2 right away.
