Needs to not burn out or fail or do any damage to the wiring or melt anything
I dont care if it takes me 3 hours to install as long as I achieve those 3

Marc, will you have a prototype by the bear mountain meet?

N54YO · 06-19-2008, 02:14 PM

Design 1 for me! Thanks for the hard work sir.

kennethpetro · 06-19-2008, 03:32 PM

Preferably #1 however i don't see how that will give = light distribution to BOTH halos. I have a feeling the best & brighest look are going to be a direct result of hard work (#2).

MyE92 - Where/When is the Bear Mountain meet?

As long as they look good. i dont mind with the harder installation process.

Hard to judge which version without more facts. Will the 800 lumens solve those problems (in the best of your knowledge)? If so, it would be my preference.
Pricing is also a factor.. I'm assuming they would, more or less, cost about the same

And

for working on this. I think I speak for the entire e92 community

mds82 · 06-24-2008, 11:51 AM

more facts will be coming. the LED hasnt even hit the market place yet, so that is the biggest issue really. once it does though it will make a big impact!

If outcome comes out awesome and there is significant brightness difference between option 1 and 2, people will buy it even they have to remove the bumper and take the headlight out to install. If not, people will prefer easy of install.

Kyosho · 07-16-2008, 04:47 PM

easy install ftw :]

Joeyballs · 07-17-2008, 01:35 AM

Hoping for a simple plug-n-play. No cutting or glueing what so ever.

Dmitriy@AUTOcouture · 07-25-2008, 12:46 PM

Marc if you make the LUX E92, I will give up my current E90 and buy the E92 instead and drive 2 1/2 hours to you just to install AND pay you for your time.

I have never had a more quality product, from a super quality producer, EVER. You are THE man.
