Pretty good :-)

I still prefer OSS with 1 small & 1 big ring setup. Looks more aggressive.

Also, my OSS setup is pretty unique that I can change from Full blast to dim. & my dim looks freaking awesome in person!!!

[Mr.335iCoupe]

nice I'd love that function!

so whats the conclusion guys? LTBMW installed the Burgertuning Angel Eye LEDs and I gotta say I am not happy with them. They are not bright enough during daytime.

So I was going to go with M-TEC next.

I would recommend one of the three. I currently have Lux and will probably go with OSS:

Alpine's are very bright during the day.
OSS - probably the best but you have send your headlight assembly in or DIY.
Lux - Very bright at night and visible during the day.

OSS are the ones that replace the entire light unit and have that xmas tree light effect right? It's a good idea, but I don't prefer it myself.

I don't know if I should do Lux, Alpine or MTEC. I guess I have to do more research. The Weisslicht and Burgertuning ones are crap. Look good at night, but that's not difficult.

If you want great visibility during the day you're gonna have to cough up more money for the OSS or LS3. I've got Mtec v3's and have been completely happy with them. Apparently there are v4's out now, haven't seen them in person but description claims to be brighter then v3.

*EDIT* this was the thread that made me go with Mtec vs Lux: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=585942
btw this only applies to pre-LCI e90.. you have an 09 LCI?

Yeah I have the LCI E90 2009 model. I think I will probably try the Mtec v4s. I don't want to get the OSS and I do not know what LS3 is. I want nothing too complicated as well. Pretty demanding, I know

[Spydeputy]

OSS are nice but there is down time as the whole light has to be replaced. Sooo LUX 5.2 are the best out there. I have the older model LUX 5.0 for 3 years now with NO issues.
GL, and show us some pix.

Actually, they are rings (Angel eyes) only. You have to send you headlights in and pay for the install or you can do it yourself. DIY - You will need to separate the lens from the housing by baking the headlight assembly for about 10 min @ 200F in order to soften the silicon, pry apart, install the rings, re-attach lens to assembly, and bake again. Not so simple. Here is a review of the OSS Angel eyes:

I have Lux at the moment and am pretty satisfied. A couple of weeks ago my outer ring on the drivers side dimmed a bunch. This weekend I removed the wheel well and took a look. The Lux unit fell out of the housing ...I re-installed with long pliers and problem solved. I still might go with the OSS' next year.

just a note the v4's will not fit on LCI, only pre-LCI E90. this also applies to LUX 5.0/5.1/5.2. I dunno which bulb type LCI E90's use but I'm sure you can find it easily.

LUX 5.2 is for the pre-lci though and not for the 2009 lci mode. I could only get the LUX H8. Any comment on that?

[ChronicSyntax]

LUX 5.0 as well. Had mine almost a year now with no issues.

[kgroschi]

I just purchased these: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...5#post12878675

$160 shipped and he guaranteed me that it will be bright, if not I can return them no questions asked.

I'll let you guys know. Would be a nice cheap alternative to the LUX.

What's your budget?

There are "best" options which can cost upwards of $500+ and require custom work.

Other options are plug and play and can cost $100-$300.

We have a very popular H8 20 Watt angel eye from HPB. Prices are very competitive, very reliable hardware, good warranty and we have great customer service to back it up.

Yes you are right. I was a little unspecific here. I wouldn't really want to spend more than $200. However if the LUX are the only ones that will completely satisfy me then I just gotta spend those $220....

I got mine a couple of years ago, no burnt LED and they are just as bright as new. Shipped my headlights to Brad at Bavx got them back within a week.

LOVE THEM ANGEL EYES. If you do anything other than LED angel eyes imo you might as well stick with the OEM. There's a ton of non-led angel eyes out there and they aren't any different than the new F3x series angel eyes, both look dull compared to LED.
