Another set of Lux rings installed

FrankoQ · 08-06-2006, 11:59 AM

My first try to install them was a failure.
But that was my mistake for not following directions.
This time, that angel eye cover was tight but it closed properly.

This is a comparo.

No problems this time.
I tried the install a while ago and could not fit the angel eye cover.
it would not snap into place.
But that was my mistake. I did not screw the kit properly.

This time, I did it correctly and it all went fine.
the angel eye covers closed with a little push.

oneshare325 · 08-06-2006, 02:06 PM

Yea, I was reading through the Dc install thread and saw you had some problems, Glad to know it wasn't with the Kit itself, I just bought KL2DC's set and I am glad to hear you had no problems! Looks great!

He decided he no longer wanted them, I am really thankful that he offered me his set.

I really like your E90, I am hoping to make mine look very similar to yours! I just don't know about Blacklines on arctic? The pic you have of the rear of your car, i don't think does justice to the blacklines! I havn't seen a pic of blacklines on arctic that I like, I love the splitters, and I am going to get a chrome grill to look like a 330. Not big on chrome trim around the windows that the 330 has though!

mds82 · 08-06-2006, 04:31 PM

FrankQ is awesome... props to him

HRC · 08-06-2006, 04:37 PM

Thank you!! I can't take good pics, but the Blacklines do look great on the car. I think Blacklines look good on all colors though.

Good luck on the install!!

Danny

Are you liking them? They look great! compared to my current PMB, they look SO much brighter!

Pretender · 08-07-2006, 03:33 AM

Get rid of yellow signal light as well.

I love them.
the pics don't really tell the whole story.
They are bright and really make the angel eyes stand out.

when are you installing yours?

For a piece of that cake, I'll be glad to help you install them.

bmw part # 63217164759

cost $4.70 ea.

Group Install anybody?

KL2DC · 08-07-2006, 09:30 AM

As oneshare325 has mentioned, I am passing my LUX kits to another fellow enthusiast and LUX fan. I know they will be well used and taken care of...

To reiterate, I unistalled my LUX as they were highlighting a pre-LUX condition/damage on my car. They remain a well-engineered and stoutly-built solution.

Group install?!?!?! It takes all of 3 minutes to change the bulb

. I would like to get those bulbs, but I am wary of them.

I tried the silvervision bulbs from bimmian.com. The bulbs were significantly more orange than amber. I like the lighter amber look as opposed to orange...

KL2DC · 08-07-2006, 09:45 AM

Yeah but AJ, these are OEM bulbs...they should work better than the aftermarket stuff (by better I mean the colors should be better matched).

Hey we desperately need an excuse to get together...I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here...work with me
