LED Canbus Angel Eyes

Does anyone know anything about these? Are they legit? Do they last?

they look like RD Angels v2. I think you have to splice/cut some factory wires. Not worth it IMO but its up to you.

these are not RD V2's but for this particular product, there is no need to splice or cut any wires, its 100% plug and play

great, thanks for the info!
In your professional experience, do you think these would last? Or will they burn out in a few months?

im not going to lie, i am not a big fan of buying ebay parts, but i do not see the logic in spending $100 on top of this for some 3 watt leds. LEDS have been around long enough for them to be produced cheap, and i bet the failure rate between these and other vendors are both quiet low.

I bought these about 2 weeks ago and i have not had a problem with them yet. It is a night and day difference with these AE lights installed.

Those are the same 6W units as the weisslicht LED upgrade.....except without the 300% markup that vendors apply.

I unfortunately bought my weisslitch set from bimmian and can vouch they are identical to those.

I myself have an 09 with Halogen lights, not Zenon, and went this way. They are 7000-7500k lights.

Will these work for pre-lci xenons? Any errors? Any issues, including errors, on early e90's (such as 2006-07, I have a e90 build date 02/07)? Thanks!

I bought a used pair of LUX 5.1 and have been totally happy with them. It doesnt hurt to spend the extra money to get something reliable as it is a huge pain to install/uninstall these.

They were not that bad installing, this was my first time and it took me about an hour to do both sides. Just remember how the inner fender cover is attches and it will be alot easier. Took me 35 min to do one side because of having to readjust the fender lining. Other than that simple install.

Did you remove your wheel? I might just do it when I change out my rims.
