So, I got my Lux H8 today. I ordered them from NAM on Monday, and got them here on Wednesday. As many already said, they are bright! The inner ring is brighter than the outer ring just like the stock setup, but each rings light up very evenly. Installation took about 30 minutes total because it took me FOREVER to line the tabs blindly behind the housing. It isn't difficult at all, but it is really tight in there. Be patient, and try not to snap anything in there. Overall, I'm very happy with them. I haven't had a chance to see them in daylight, but I think they look sick at night.
Here's some comparison with stock. I'll try to snap a few during the day tomorrow. Driver side: Lux H8 Passenger Side: Stock H8 |

For folks posting pictures, they're definitely appreciated. However, the night pics as necessary as some of the other times. If you really want to help those that are interested in changing out their AE's, post daytime shots, and I don't mean overcast, in shadows shots. Shots where the sun is overhead, and where it's in front of the car, are the most ideal. That gives the most accurate depiction of what to expect from the AEs, and realistically, the worst scenario. Other pictures are obviously welcome, but these types of shots are extremely helpful.

I've had Weisslicht and AiB in my car. To me, AiB's color best matches the OEM 4200K HID headlights. They probably tie LUX H8 in intensity but do NOT match the color/brightness of the LCI 2011 E92 headlamps.
I prefer the design and color of Weisslicht. Its intensity is slightly reduced compared to AiB and LUX, but the color is a more bluish/purple-white light, something more equivalent to 6000K. There are several distinct advantages to the Weisslicht H8 fixture: -The ballasts, or LED driver packs are encased in aluminum and are not required to be mounted outside of the headlamp housing. They also use very secure connections. -The LEDs are mounted on spring-loaded "arms" that expand into the housing, directing the LEDs into the light pipe areas. This is the most effective placement of the LEDs and doesn't result in light "bleeding" into the cornering lamp fixture. HID-based AE kits are horrid for this-- it looks as if you have the headlights on because so much extra light is projected forward through the cornering lamp. -No external heatsinks required. The installation is pretty straightforward. -Price. The Weisslicht H8 kit is reasonably-priced compared to their competitors. I'm now considering putting my AiB up for sale and going back to Weisslicht. I'm not so happy with the electronics, specifically the design of the connectors. It has resulted in one fried ballast already. |

Got home too late today, but I snapped a few before the sun went down. Hopefully this will give you *some* idea. I'll take some under the sun if weather permits.

At day- AiB. I believe the LEDs are just a bit more powerful but the color just about perfectly matches the 4200K output from the OEM HIDs. Once my replacement ballasts arrive, I think I'm going to take one of the AiBs out and put in a Weisslicht unit, then take pictures for a direct comparison of both units in the same car. |

Got some 2500K Yellow Angel Eye Bulbs... Just for change of pace, these look really good coming down the road, all my friends agree.
Also pictured are some 4500K (i think) Canbus HID Fogs, really match the OEM HID very well. Couldnt get my camera to focus but it looks like the bat mobile i swear. Got the Angel Eyes and Fogs from www.highperformancebulbs.com (cheapest price on canbus HID Fogs), the guy hasnt updated his site so just email him. Cool guy. I think they were about $100. Bought a 2nd set of fogs if anyone is interested you can PM me. |
