Mtec V3 Greenish Tint from e92-lighting.com

Sup Guys,

I recently purchased a set of Mtec V3 Led Angel Eyes from e92-lighting.com found here, https://www.e92-lighting.com/bmw-ang...-angel-eye-v3/

After installing the driver side angel eye i noticed the light appear to have a greenish tint. Has this happened to anyone? I have purchased Mtec V3 LED Angel Eyes twice before for my former e90 and current X5 both sets omitting a pure white light which is what encouraged be to purchase the same set. There ad also states "SUPER WHITE". However after seeing the light output on these i have to say i am completely dissatisfied with this set. Please take a look at the pics below and let me know your thoughts. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

From experience, if you're getting a varied color from an LED, it's most likely that it is damaged.

Did you touch the actual LEDs when you were doing the installation?

Not at all. I was especially careful with that.

I cant really tell from the pics, if no damage check the wiring, top of your lens is faded tho. you may also have boogers in your filament. cheers

Might be time to get your eyes checked! Try removing them and reinstalling? Might just be a connecting issue. I know when I put mine in they looked odd and I think I flipped the wires on the back and it fixed the issue. GL!

"SUPER WHITE" is a relative term. "Bin" will tell you the exact color temp of the LED.

A single model of LED diode is sold with different "binning", meaning different color temps. Unless the MTEC AEs specify a particular "bin", you'll get whatever the manufacturer had in their hands while producing the product.
