Don't bother with either of those. For pre-LCI E90s, nothing beats Lux 5.0.

LUX 5.0 will actually be getting a upgrade to version 5.1 now, new LED's which are brighter, and a better design as well

Will the same be happening for Lux 5.0 LCIs?

And is there a noticeable colour difference? Pics?

Neither of those are going to be "the best"...you'll want to look at LUX or an HID option
