LUX h8 180

Just got a set of these for my e93 328i. The connectors look similar, but are infact different. Ill attach a pic to show you what I mean.

***UPDATE***
I spoke with some one from LUX, " Please just pinch together the pins in the LUX Connector and they will fit perfectly. You can do this with your fingers, pliers, etc and just need to squeeze them together a bit."

This worked 100%, but to be safe I asked if for some reason pinching the pins together breaks them, will they be return able? And yes they will be return able. I would just make sure that if you run into this problem, contact lux first.

Not great to see that the connector doesn't even match an actual H8 connector considering you're paying for a supposed premium product. How did you go with installing the H8 bulbs? Did it fit and how's the output?

I have issues with my H8 180, read my post before you install it, you can still return it at this time.

Lux plugs aren't as good a quality as some others. Rest of the unit works well. It's a common issue you were having IZSL07L that you aren't really going to avoid with LEDs without coding it out.

Again sorry for the slight issue with the connector, but we have resolved this for all future orders. We found that accidentally some of the pins got pushed outwards during assembly. Thank you

Its all good. I was a little upset considering they were ~$200. Id expect an issue like that from some ebay bulbs. BUT, after a few emails from yall, I was told to just pinch them together a little. And that it wouldnt void any return policy.

It's ok to move the pins by hand to get them in alignment.
