Need some help with Lux v4 (already installed)

m9bm · 11-05-2014, 05:22 PM

Hi guys,

I installed the lux v4 in my e90 LCI last week.
However the color temperatures don't match on both sides.
The brightness seems to be the same.

It may not be fully seated, or seated incorrectly on the drivers side..
The space is very tight.

Can someone who has experience with this take a look at my lights to find out if this is seated correctly?

I can buy you food or give you some money.
I will come to you.

sometimes leds just dont match one another, on my door handle lights the leds are slightly different colors and they are oem. It does happen. Hopefully your situation is an installation problem but my guess is that its the leds them self. Take them out turn on and compare them out of the housings that way you will know for sure.

I am going to try to switch the lights later.

I figure if the color problem switches sides then I know it isn't an installation issue, and back they'll go.

Check if any of the individual LEDs are damaged. Could be that the yellow lens over one of the LEDs got knocked off during the install, making one side more purplish.

Good for $225 i wold send them back too. For that kind of money there should be 0 issues with quality.

It appears some of the LED covers were missing. Lux wants me to send it back and pay an additional $40..
