Recently went to the LUX V3's and they are the best thing I have tried, no dimming when the lights are on, very white and bright and light the outer ring better than anything I have found to date short of replacing the rings fully with LED's.
Can you share where did u buy it from? and price paid?

^ those are nice and Blue ! My Depo brand headlights have a little Purple in the rings.... Well depends on when you look at'em. During the day they are Blue with a Purple tint. And at night they are Blue with a white tint to it. Wierd.

Any light looks good in the absence of it. Dark shots are not a good indication of how the light output is.

what are you using for the fogs there? GP Thunders have a blue tint which I can't seem to get rid of even after dropping to 7500k...

Maybe that's what you're using and the camera is playing tricks.

BTW, I like how the 2 inner coronas are a little brighter... it's unique and works for me.

I've got HTEC H11s in my fog. So much whiter and really match the HIDs/LUX. Looks is eleventybillion times better.
