LEDs that would actually be rated around 6000K instead of the current ones
that as you said are around 9000-10000K.

Thanks.-

currently no - i am only making this one color. when looking directly at the angel eyes while they are on, the color does not look anything like 9000k. It is a very bright and cool white color. There will be a lot more pics this weekend as well so you can take a look there.

Pitty. In any case I'm looking forward to more pics and if you could have one
side against the stock set for comparison and also with the headlights on, that
would be great.

Thanks.-

sooooooooooooooo tempted.

Think I'll wait for the pics you will post this weekend.

mds82 · 07-13-2007, 08:10 PM

Here are more pics.
The colors are NOT ACCURATE in these pics because they were taken with a Point and Shoot digital camera, not a DSLR. they look much more blue then in person, at least the Left side looks way too blue

Pics of LUX 4.0 VS. OEM will come tomorrow!!

LUX 3.0 on LEFT ...................... LUX 4.0 on Right

wish I can be there tomorrow to see Lux 4.0 in person

FrankoQ · 07-15-2007, 07:16 AM

Nice but on the other hand, 4.0 looks blurry compared to stock. is that the camera not properly capturing the light?

+1?

dinkoh · 07-15-2007, 10:16 AM

How long do LUX lights last for? I know they are warrantied for a year, but do they burn out faster than OEM stock?

I think his hand's just a little shaky in the lack of light. The second and third picture look like accurate comparisons to me. If you've seen his LUX 2 and 3 in person, the rings do not lose definition and they maintain a very good amount of brightness in them. They just demolish my PIAAs! The only thing i would be angry about is why do I need to blind people during daytime when I just want to use my parking lights as my DRLs.

FrankoQ · 07-15-2007, 08:40 PM

Waiting for more pics Marc.

I'll let Marc answer that.
I've had Lux 1.0 ( now a collectible item btw

) for over a year now and they are as bright as they were a year ago.
