Lux angel eyes, NO problem with fitting.

entrepreneur177 · 04-20-2012, 08:17 AM

Hey guys,

I wanted to ask if anyone has same problem as mine. The right bulb of LUX angel eyes H8 just does not fit properly (doesn't lock in the proper position). I've been struggling with that for hours, trying to make it look somehow good. The light distribution is just uneven comparing inner (brighter) and bigger outter (dimmer) "eye". The only way to make it look better on my car is tighten it with anything possible, (I've just put a piece of foam between the bulb and plastic). Otherwise bulb just falls of a socket on the first bump.

I had MTEC and other aftermarket bulbs there and fitment was perfect for those.

LUX representatives claims that nobody ever stated this kind of problem.

Thanks for you input! Be safe on the roads!

PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. Only the amber LUX H8 have this problem and it can be solved by slight trimming of the inside tabs in one of the headlights.

Oh, that's great. Lux says you're the only one to have this problem and they leave you high and dry? Great customer service. Return it and get something else that works, my advice.

nickm9 · 04-20-2012, 11:40 AM

Watching this with interest as thinking of getting these in London...please keep us posted. Thanks mate

Looking forward to seeing how this goes as well since LUX seems to be the best option out there right now and I was somewhat tempted to make the purchase a week ago.

I bought them couple of month ago, had no chance to testfit them. I constantly go back and forth LA-Moscow. I had no clue that LED(!!!) with cost of $245 could have any problems fitting to the car. So, I gues it's kind of late to return it unfortunately.

We will send you an e-mail to get this resolved for you

Also please do not jump to conclusions, we have been in contact with the OP already about this and have NO intentions to leave him "high and dry"

We already offered to try and make a change for you but you never responded to our e-mail in regards to that. Please e-mail me back so we can address this directly with you (again)

1) Well, I guess you emailed someone else. I have NEVER gotten ANY emails from you.

2) I'm not compalining, but asking if anyone has same problem as I do in order to understand if it's problem of my headlight or defect of your LED's.

3) I will contact you for THE FIRST time in private messages now.

Haha, the Z4 love is worldwide.

I reside in the Los Angeles area. No offense to anyone but there is no better place to own a roadster than this place.

nickm9 · 04-20-2012, 01:23 PM

I come to LA a few times a year, and I agree re the car. Although too many people going up and down the PCH on the weekends.....showing off in their cars!!and so many older guys on Harley's!!! I normally stay in Century City when I come but have recently being staying in Santa Monica....love it there and then heading out to Palm Desert on the weekends...

Thanks. I was about to buy some MTECs but will get the Lux instead. Do you ship to London?

rfx45 · 04-20-2012, 01:28 PM

Century City and Santa Monica are good places to just cruise around with the top down, especially now that the weather is getting warmer once again.

nickm9 · 04-20-2012, 01:40 PM

I always stay away during June Gloom though!! Good drive from the desert to Vegas, I got stopped doing 140 once on the 15 going into Vegas....

This topic has been discussed extensively. falconflyer posted side by side comparo pix of LUX, Alpine HID and OEM. Here's the link. Be your own judge. The best looking lights are obvious.

Jparnes, I just don't think it's a good test. The 3 series and newer models are always going to have the bright lights, and I didn't think E89's are destined to have the high brightness of the 3 series. Not at least until there is a revision to the range....

LuxAngelEyes · 04-20-2012, 02:17 PM

the OP's original issue has been resolved through e-mail with us

The OP had a set of LUX H8 Amber angel eyes and those were never designed to fit in the headlight without modifications. Easy solution

Confirmed. It turned out that in order for Amber color LUX H8 to fit, it requires the slight trimming of the headlight.

White LUX H8 should fit properly, according to company representative.

To conclude - after trying several angel eyes options, I guess they are the brightest one on the market and I recomend it to everybody.

Please close this thread.
