Lux v3 problem
Got them in, they work when the head lamps are on. When you unlock the truck they did work 3 times now they quit ... But still work when I put the headlamps on. Has this happend to anyone else? For 259.00 bucks these should work all the time.

I think they go on a few times when u lock and unlock the X, but then they wont go on until you start the X5 again. Ive had mine for over a year and never had a problem with them.

Maybe, I wasn't 100% clear. Normaly when you unlock the X the angel eyes come on. I installed the LUX V3's and the first 3 or 4 times I unlocked it they came on as they should. Now all of a sudden they don't come on when you unlock the X. They do work as normal day time running lamps and when the head lamps are on.

Did you try putting the headlight switch in auto mode? I've heard about some flickering issue with the Lux that goes away in auto mode.

If they stopped working all together I would send it back. If you're talking about hitting the unlock button on your key and the first 3 or 4 times they light up but stop working until you start the car, then this is normal. Also, they flicker which is a different issue which can be fixed by getting your lights to auto.

The OP means that at first few days after installation, they turn on upon unlock. Now, maybe a week later, that doesn't happen anymore.
