Luminics 2500k yellow angel eyes problems

MMakoto · 11-17-2007, 07:08 PM

not sure if any of you have tried these bulbs for the angel eyes on the e92, but i just did. it looked yellow like i wanted, but there is a big problem.

i had it running as DRL, and it's fine. then i turned on the headlights, and the angel eyes went back to stock color. then 30 seconds later, all the angel eyes went out, and it wouldn't come back on again no matter what i do. i shut the car off, and turned it on again, but then same thing happens when i turn the headlights on.

i checked all the wiring and the bulb, they're fine. but i just don't know what's going on or how to resolve it. anyone else with a similar experience?

btw, the installation is sucha bitch, so i really don't wanna mess with it again.

check fuse.. or the bulbs are not 35w h8, some are 65 watts and blew a fuse

i'm pretty sure the fuse is fine, cuz everything turns back on after i restarts the car. i think i'm just gonna go back to stock and use them as fogs instead.

Just spoke to a friend dealer today about this. He said that the only bulbs that he does not have a problem with are MTEC. I just changed mine to MTEC h8 and the are 100% fine. They do make a yellow one to

what color do you have for the mtec? show me a pic if it's yellow. as you may know of, GP thunder bulbs are fine too, but i just don't want the white color.

i have luminitics ultra violet. they don't go off, but they beep a lot when xenons are on... but i am getting used to it. luminitics are generally not compatible with 3ers. for unknown reasons...

I have the super whites. The higher the kelvin, the less light output you will have. The Outer rings now are slightly dim with Mtec over stock
