Lux H8

I just installed the Lux H8 lights on my 2008 e92... pain in the ass but finally done... I just wanna make sure everything\'s working fine... at eye level when I\'m standing (about 6 feet above the ground): 0-10ft away it looks like the outer rings aren\'t working at all... 10-20ft away the outer ring works but is dimmer than the inner ring... 20 ft everything looks good. this is in half direct sunlight half shade from a tree.. is this normal? thanks.

yes that is correct - it is the exact same as it was with the stock bulb as well . the outer ring is just designed to be viewed straight on and not from any angles. As well the color of the LUX H8 V3 is the same color as daylight so there is not as much color contrast compared to the stock bulbs. because of this lack of contract it might make it more difficult to distinguish them. Take a look tonight when they get darker and you will be able to see them much more easily.
