Mtec Super Whites vs LUX H8 Angel Eyes

Acepilot01 · 01-21-2011, 02:06 PM

Hey guys I plan on upgrading the look of my angel eyes. Ive been searching the forum and im still stuck on wether I should get the Mtec Super White bulbs or the Lux H8 set-up. Pros and cons on both set-ups would be appreciated. I have a 2007 335i coupe.

LUX H8 is your best bet. it will be a true 6500k color, no dimming, and will make the inner and outer ring as close to the same brightness as possible.

any halogen bulb will act the same as the stock bulb, dimming, etc, but it will just look more blueish or even greenish when dimmed

The new version of LUX allows for the whole set-up to be stored inside the headlight unit. If they're in your budget, LUX blows away any halogen based bulb.

Will the Lux H8 give u the blueish color? If so then I will get the mtec's cause I really want them to be as white as possible.
