Nick - Any reason you aren't trying the specific ones from this thread?
For me, I would never get the current LUX (V4) because for $250... they flicker. Maybe when they come out with the V5 that dims like OEM, I will actually jump ship.

In regards to the $40.. if they won't budge, maybe threaten to/actually do a credit rollback? When I threatened to do a rollback with a similar company, they quickly accepted my return.
Our lights are priced at $225 now, not $250. We are workng on the flickering when you lock the car, but the reason this happens is because the lights are designed to stay at 100% brightness all the time where as most only run at 2/3 brightness normally, and 1/3 brightness when the headlights are on.

Just saying.
Thats not really true. Cree is just a brand that sells the LED's, not the angel eyes. Anyone can buy a cree LED and there are so many different locations to do so. Finding a company that can provide the correct power to the LED, and the right fixture to disipate the heat correctly- now that is the more important questions.

So may companies say 20W, 40W, or 64W, but that is not accurate. The average Cree LED is capable of being driven at around 5 watts, and if there are 4 LED that equals 20 watts. However each of the LED's are driven at a fraciton of their potential, normally under 2 watts each. When the headlights turn on they are dimmed to under 1 watt each. So a 40W brand light is really only using 4 watts per light.
