so, my indy shop tells me my ext. bulb indicator that came on last week is telling me an angel eye only has 30hrs left.

I asked him about aftermarket BRIGHTER ones and he said he has installed a few, but they don't seem to last as long as OEM.

what have you guys experienced?

thanks in advance

I bought and installed a set back in January this year and have not had any issues. They look great and are very bright. I believe they also come with a 1 yr warranty.

My LUX v2 worked flawlessly for 3 years. I just upgraded to Lux 160 and they are nice

I have 3 plus years on my M-tech angel eyes.

Since when can a car predict how many hours are left on an H8 bulb? I'm pretty sure the best it can do it tell when a bulb is out based on under voltage or current drop.

that's what I thought too.

but this is the second time in 8 years that indicator light has come on. I think the first time a bulb was replaced under warranty by BMW.... like around 40k miles. I think.

Somehow an elec reading shows that a bulb is about to die?
