Thanks in advance.

My Lux bulbs were shipped from western MA, so they appear to be made in the good ol' USA.

I've had products from iJDM for past cars, but none that did bulb checks.

I went ahead and ordered the LUX, but it appears that the estimated shipping date is now 4/29/11. :-/

No error codes on dash.
i'm sure they are made in china or korea something like that.
but they shipped from cali to ny in like 4 days.
i'm satisfied with them. if they ever stop working for whatever reason, i might decide to drop 250 for LED's.

The iJDM ones ARE LEDs.

I used LUX V3

Dont trust pictures.

All I can say is I like them better than stock. The outer rings could be a little brighter, but I'm good with what I have.

The outer rings look barely on there in the first pic - I was thinking those are GP Thunders rather than $250 lux v3s.

Like I said, don't trust pictures ... not even from me. But i'll be honest, I posted the worst pictures that I have for a reason. I like my car to hav a "unique" look. I don't want to see a bunch of other X5 looking like mine on the roads.

The outer rings are visible, and they look good from the front, but from the front/side, you can't tell as much ... until the sun starts going down of course.

LUX is expensive (took no time to install). Get the ones you want and lemme know how u like em.

Mmm not to burst your bubble..but your car, my car every car pre oem led will have light output on the road like that. Unless you meant specifically wanting to be unique with a pics of the side ok.. But unless you have the oem led,OSS or ls3 that's how they will all show even the oem coronas the outer ring will only be visible at certain angles. It's just how the internal is constructed.

Pics need to be taken at eye level and bout 20' away. No I don't work for lux.

I installed the LUX H8 v3 bulbs and I love them. They look so much better then stock. I had the angelibrights on my E53 and these are so much brighter. :thumbup:
