Plug and play.

I've had the LUX for 2 years and they are awesome!
Actually like the difference between the inner and outer rings and think the new AEs on the 2013s are too bright...

Lux was the first to establish a market, but the others are in no way knock offs. Look at the MTEC bulbs which are brighter than Lux with no EMI. Look at the 20W cree LEDs again, which are brighter than Lux.

The only reason Lux prices were that high were because they were the only product at the time. It is no way a reflection of the engineering/maufacturing cost. MTEC is a bigger company than LUX, and now there are other alternatives that sell for $85 per pair on Ebay and come with a warranty as well. I'l take my chances there. An LED is an LED, the resistors and simple circuit to make things error free are not hard to design or exclusive to LUX.

The exact same thing happend with the CCFL or LED rings for the E46. First they were over $200, then when the competition came, they were $99.

Its your money, spend it as you see fit (including buying those LED strips you wanted)

Sorry to thread jack but you got me interested in buying some of that cheap chinese crap, lol

Looks good to me! Not really sure why everyone is so concerned with what you do with your money.

Do you have any better pictures of it during a sunnier day?

Thanks

I'll take some pictures of it in the sun...whenever it decides to come out again. LOL

Here's a picture of my 335i with the stock bulb on the passenger side and the Lux H8 V3 on the driver's side. BTW, I ordered these for the 335i after I was very disappointed with the GP Thunder bulbs I put in the X5. I'll probably order another set of the Lux bulbs for the X5.

I am w/ Blue Dragon on this. I have a pair (korean made) bought from iJdmtoys 2 years ago for my 35i Sport. They shine exactly like the Lux, bright white, zero errors, zero problems. I got them for 110 at the time, now there's a newer version for I think 80.

But hey, if people want to throw away their green (LOL, 3x) like that, who are we to tell them there are much cheaper and possibly better alternatives? Anyways, I guess there will always be a market for a $600 toaster that can make the same piece of toast as a $60 toaster. Cheers.

Is that an E30 M3 I see in the garage?

[FSETH]

Yeah, why did you try to hide the e30 M with the e90 door?
