Which one is better/brighter the LUX H8(600K) or RD LED H8(700k)?

The makers of the LUX H8 said that the new ones that will fit our z4's will be available mid January..

The RD LED h8 are only $149

Ur_Up · 01-12-2010, 07:24 AM

yeh they emailed me that info..

anyone know which led to go for?

I also PM'd Marc (mds82) the maker of the LUX H8 and he said he's working on a Z4 solution. He stated in his PM reply that it will probably be late February before an official release.

If you're looking for the best LED solution for the Z4, the LUX H8 is probably it. That is unless you go OSS (top of the line) which will require you to send them your entire light housing for a retrofit.

Anything new for sale yet?

jpapg · 02-09-2010, 02:52 PM

The new 335is comes with LED angel eyes. (http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=342598)
Maybe they're standard in the Z4 35is too.
And of course this means that we will be able to buy 'em as a part.
So be patient ...

mds82 · 02-09-2010, 02:56 PM

I will have a newer updated version that i beleive should fit. I will check with NAMotorsports first to see if anyone with a Z4 has pre-ordered already

Alext · 02-09-2010, 04:46 PM

Yeah, I am wondering when the Z4 will come with these as standard.

Z4@Phuket · 02-17-2010, 09:43 PM

I found this on ebay, It is very simple alternative to the complicated LED bulbs

This is H8 35W Halogen bulb, no problem in fitting

Z4@Phuket · 02-23-2010, 07:32 AM

Just installed this
took 5 mins to do this.
From my view the inner rings are brighter than the outside ones
May be the fiber optic for outside rings are places in different location, not opposite side as the location of the LEDs

Maaij · 02-23-2010, 06:15 PM

Looks good

Is it bright compared to OEM?

Where to get?

From Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Wide-...item5885b13863
The brightness of inner rings is brighter than OEM but outter rings is not, may be from fiberoptic location??

I bought this for $115 plus shpping, but now they are selling for $239.99/ I don't know why??

Try to negotiate the price

Someone please try to get those 8500K H8 Halogen bulb as my previous post in this thread and post the pics. It's a lot cheaper
I found this bulb while those LED are on its way, too late

Those are just like the RD Ones, many people have complained that they are invisible during the daytime.

Maaij · 02-27-2010, 03:33 AM

Maybe I will give it a try. I am tired of the OEM yellow color...

mds82 · 02-28-2010, 10:49 PM
