LUX V4 Installed
 
4 Attachment(s)
After going over which LUX V3 color to get (5000k vs 6500k) they upgraded to V4, which are adjustable from 5000k - 12000k, so my problem was solved. So here are some pics:

Factory vs 5000k

12000k vs 5000k

Thats freaking awesome. Too bad I just installed a set of Mtec. I would love the ability to dial in the color temp to my liking. Is it a pain to change the color temp?

No, there are 4 dip switches on the power supply, just set them to the color temp that you want.

Can't really speak to that since I never had the v3's. According to LUX the v3's are now the second brightest LED upgrade that you can get, after the v4's.:D The v4's now use double the LED's that the v3 used so I am assuming that they are significantly brighter, but it could be to support the selectable color as well.:dunno:

Those look awesome! I was just about to purchase a set 2 weeks ago when I found out Lux V4's were coming out. I wanted to wait for some reviews 1st...

V4 for Sale
 
I have a new set of the V4 Lux for Sale if anyone is interested.

Here is the link to the sale on Ebay:
Lux H8 V4 BMW Angel Eyes Color Adjustable E90 E92 E93 E70 E71 E89 | eBay

Went back to my V3, as the color on the V4 is not consitent around the ring/AE. This is my opinion...

As has been stated, they use both white and blue LEDS, but they appear as alternating white and blue "stripes/bands" when viewing the AEs themselves, depending on which color temp you choose. Again, just my opinion...

I also have 2 new Caps for the backs of the HL where these are installed.
BMW #63127192573.

Message me if interested.

Thanks,
John

Can you comment as to the brightness comparisons between the two versions? How much brighter (if at all) are the V4s?
