Great pictures. Next time i would take the pictures from farther away however. you can see what the outer rings do not show up correctly because you are too close to the car and the angle is off. Thanks!!!!

I have a MY11 E70

There are two caps to access the head lights on each side.

Front one has a cap that screws off, and the back one has a clip at the top and flips open then comes off completely.

Inside i can only see the bulb that powers the highbeam???

The clips on the back of this bulb do not match up with the clips on the Lux

Please help

Thanks

Here is the install guide - it will shortly be posted up to the website:

Installation started slow but I figured a trick. Unless you have pencil fingers this will help.
Mark the bulbs like suggested ..this will set tab positions.
Once you drop the bulb in, use a small screwdriver in between the heat sink slots and guide the tabs I'm and twist cw so it tightens onto the housing.

Do SHare!

these obviously do not fit current model Australian spec X5s

I noticed that if I'm standing really close, or looking at it at an angle, the outer rings look dim or its light are broken. Is this normal?

No sir e Bob, no jokes here. Even with all that trouble you did it in half the time than it took me! It's all relative I suppose. And from the comments just be glad we don't have E90's, those are supposed to be even harder to install!

And as others have pointed out, with the design of the non LCI angel eyes, it's only really bright in the daytime when looking directly at them.

+1, The picture in the main post comparing the LCI angels and the LUX H8s seems to be a bit deceiving.

God to say you need small hands to fit them into an E92 is a HUGE understatment!

They look great however, very happy with them but my god the install was a bitch.

OK, so I finally got around to installing these myself. WOW is all I can say. I had previously tried AIB's which didn't light up correctly at all. They set off my FRM module which had to be reset at the dealer (driver's side AE would not light up no matter what bulb I put in there). So with the LUX's I was abit hesitant hoping this would not happen again. Well, obviously they did not throw any codes at all.

There is absolutely no flickering and come on and go off crisply. I am more than happy with these badboys.

So here's a pic I took quickly...

The color is about spot on in the pic, with maybe slightly less of a blue tint. They are actually a tad brighter in real life as well

What was also surprising was the fact that it took me less than 15 minutes to install these as I don't have small hands by any means. But maybe futzing with the AIB's for the time I had them seasoned me. What I did was drop the driver and bulb assembly in first, then used these b!tches to hold onto the area between the base and led's and guided the bulb into place...

Mark the heatsinks with a sharpie so you know how to clock them properly like the instructions say....helps alot.

I am more than happy with the LUX V3's
