Bought Lux h8 v5..

Reddys · 03-30-2018, 11:59 AM

they look amazing, love the way you can adjust them, I currently have mine at 6.9k. Just one thing the outer ring barely has any light during the day.. and night its bleuish but not bright. I did look it up turns out it just an LCI problem but the thing that I don't get is my STOCK lights showed more light in the outter ring than the lux, not hating just trying to get my issue solved

yes I did remove them and re installed them, yes I did align then, & yes i did twist bulb all the wa, if they gonna be like that, id rather return them and just buy the actual angel rings and just install them to my headlights ///:

Try the H8 180, they should offer much more output than the V5.

Here's mine with the old H8 160:

Looks good. Any straight on shots? What are the rings like at night? Are they crisp circles or do they spread light everywhere? I always want to see a crisp circle of light in daytime and night time.

Yup, no complaints from me. Had them for 2 years and zero issues

Yeah I have the same issues with mine. Outer rings area actually lighter than stock and a different color than the inner rings.

As its been discussed many times over on the forum, the angle that you view the headlights from makes all the difference. BMW designed the angel eyes so they are only visible when looking at them straight on, and not from above or from the side. if you take a picture up close the rings will appear clear and not lit up, but when you back up from the car farther it will give you a better angle, making them appear more clear and brighter
