D335NUTZ · 03-07-2011, 09:38 AM

My fucking gorilla hands can't get these fucking LUX bulbs in and it's been an hour ready. Holy fucking shit.

KyLu II · 03-07-2011, 09:41 AM

hulk smash?

NYC_e92 · 03-07-2011, 09:42 AM

^ I thought you had small hands like the Burger King commercial.

Or give Jerry a call. He's got small hands

D335NUTZ · 03-07-2011, 09:44 AM

I have to leave for fucking work in 20 mins too. Thinking an hour should be enough time to put these in... FML

Bobby_LeMans · 03-07-2011, 09:47 AM

+1..Jerry got T-rex arms...

D335NUTZ · 03-07-2011, 09:48 AM

My knuckles are fucking raw and bleeding right now. I've turned the bulbs 360 degrees and they DON'T WANT TO FUCKING FIT IN.

D335NUTZ · 03-07-2011, 10:02 AM

I'm
Furious

LuxAngelEyes · 03-07-2011, 10:26 AM

Have you tried to alight them by marking the top of the bulb so that you know which side is the Top of the LUX

Please refer to the install instructions on our website for tips : http://luxangeleyes.com/guides/LUX_H...all_E92_M3.pdf

madeinhongkong · 03-07-2011, 10:49 AM

sorry but they are a bitch to install. Sal helped me with mine... def not any easier than the old ones. they look great but it take atleast 45- an hour. false advertising

danniexi · 03-07-2011, 11:16 AM

with a bit of trial and error, it took me 5-7 mins each side.

it's definitely hard to get them in position, but once it's in just feel around and turn (counter clockwise). try what Marc suggested and mark the top (wish I thought of this before).

LaLakers91tc · 03-07-2011, 11:53 AM

damn... that sucks

_shim · 03-07-2011, 11:56 AM

Damn Wil, hows it going? Any luck yet?

e92stance · 03-07-2011, 11:57 AM

Yeah they are very hard to put in....my hands are retarded big and it took me like an hour and a half. I put in the newer v2's and boy it was pretty difficult. My knuckles looked like I was playing with a pitbull all day!!!! lol I am waiting for my v3's to come in and I am definately contemplating letting AKM put them in for me! But man, when they are locked in, and you turn them on........shit it was well worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!

e92stance · 03-07-2011, 11:58 AM

Marc, those directions dont open for some reason, ive tried it on 2 computers....do you have them in Word or something else???

LOL i hear that! Damn, It keeps closing down on me. It says the pdf reader has encountered a problem! Anybody else getting that???? Like I said, I installed them already, im just interested in seeing what he recommends besides the mark with a sharpie.

have you tried downloading it? (right click save link as)

e92stance · 03-07-2011, 12:15 PM

Yeah, i just did....couldnt open it. Im gonna re-boot and download it. That has to work. Thanks man!

e92stance · 03-07-2011, 12:44 PM

GOT IT!!! Damn, too bad theres nothing really new on there that I didnt already figure out!!! The "T" diagram is pretty helpful, and if AKM doesnt do mine for me I will mark them with a sharpie.

Driver side was easy as hell for some reason, passenger side almost had me crying!!!

itsbrokeagain · 03-07-2011, 01:51 PM

Just bring it by saturday and I'll slip them in for ya.

Lol alright. I'm just impatient lol.

2007AWE92 · 03-07-2011, 02:20 PM

I'm thinking peeps that got these installed in under 10 minutes just got lucky. I even had my wife with bird arms try and she said "there's no way in hell you are getting those installed"...well...after a good half hour got the drivers one in. the difficulty is getting it aligned with the tabs because bulb has to be pretty level and its not easy getting it level.. I used a screw driver to sort of wedge in the heat sink grooves to hold it a little and then just kept trying. Once its flush, turning it with the finger tips isn't that hard...just keep trying. Remember to swear a lot..it helps...and when you're done rubbing lotion into your beat to hell knuckles you'll be smiling when you fire up the new AE's.
