I checked out the LUX H8 and the total with shipping comes to 300$ CAD. What. The. Hell.

that seems pricey. i believe i paid less (for both my e92s) buying from Mike at n54tuning. He does local pickups in Toronto but i guess you need shipping. Maybe check N54tuning website and change to Canadian and see how much it costs shipped.

Lol welcome to 2015's exchange rates.

I have LUX in both cars. After trying various eBay/random brands over the years, these easily give the best output and are actually reliable

Try N54tuning as mentioned above.

I'm 1 ho r15 mins away from a UPS in USA where they hold your package.
I guess I'll ship them there and install them in the US so I don't pay my tax and duties when I come back.

I got mine from e92-lighting last year and paid $198 shipped. I know they have a bad rep on this forum for poor transaction/service, but my purchase was just like any other online purchase.

PSA, if you end up buying those eBay angel eyes its best to get your cold&warm checks coded out to ensure the longevity of the power pack.

I might do that first to see if it's fine. So any bulb that is H8 would work? Or is there a max wattage?

With just a quick eBay search, I found this. That's pretty cheap!I love it.

I've had my LUX for almost year and making the switch to custom headlights were night and day.

Just hated how the inside halo's were so much brighter than the outside. (OE design flaw)

Same here, I switched from LUX to custom headlights. It changes the look of the E92 M3 dramatically.

So here's my $40 eBay angel eyes. I'm pretty sure they are much brighter than my previous LUX set on my last car.
Coded out the error, and fades in and out with no issues. Zero flickering.
