I went LUX v3 and have been very pleased. It's totally DIY, however, I didn't do it myself (hands were too big)! I've posted pics on this forum if you search for them.

some people have gone w/ LUX.
depends on preferences i guess........i recently posted some pics showing what i believe is the difference between the GP thunder and $100 LEDs.

hope this helps a little.

I like the LEDs better, $100 is tough to get wife approval though. I changed AE on our 530i for $40.00 and they look great.

that sucks man, didn't turn out like you hope.
i first bought the LED's and then i wanted to try the gp thunder, ended staying w/ the LEDs.
everyone has a different preference. the only thing that during regular daylight, they are not as bright as i would like it to be.

this is how mines look
