Default Lux H8 160 Review

Hey everyone just wanted to share my thoughts on these angel eye upgrades. First off I have to say these are amazing. I have a early model 2008 LCI e60 and there known to throw codes with replacement AE but thankfully they look great and haven't thrown any codes at all. Just installed them but will try and put some day time shots tomorrow.

Definitely interested in some daytime pictures! Trying to decide on the 160s or the amber for my 08.

I've been looking into buying the 160's the past few days, I think I'm finally going to pull the trigger and order them.

Default Update

To update you guys they look amazing in the daytime as well. Unfortunately thanks to how the factory headlight is made theres no way the two rings are gonna be the same brightness so from close up and at angles the inner angel eyes are brighter but looking straight at them from a couple steps back and the car becomes super aggressive and truly amazing. In the afternoon and night time there amazing at all angels. Truly worth the money considering they offer a 1 year warranty. The first pic is from close up and the rest are some daytime shots with the last two being touched up (there my favorites).

On Lux's website, it says that they will pulse off when locking the car instead of fading off like the stock halogens do. Can you confirm that this happens, and also could you possibly take a short video of it if they do pulse?

From sec 5 to 10 u can see the light have a slight pulsing, that's after 5 to 10 minutes on i move it to the passenger side and it does the same.

passenger side is steady no pulsing.

So only one of your bulbs pulses?
And is it pulsing all the time or only after you lock your car?
