Anyone's PIAA 6500K angel eye leds stop working?

DC_driver · 02-27-2010, 10:17 AM

I had them on my car for 2 years. Then one of them stopped working.
Is it possible that it burned out already?

Thanks for the replies. They weren't that bright to begin with, just a color change. I might try to get a set of the Lux 4.0 They seem much brighter from what I've been reading about them. Do they last longer than the PIAA?
They are quite a lot more money. What company/vendor sells them?

I've seen the PIAA in person and they're not that bright when compared to the MTEC E90 v2. The MTECs were much whiter

Are the Lux 4.0 and 5.0 series the brightest angel eye option or are the MTEC 2.0 brighter? Is one more reliable than the other? I am looking to purchase a replacement for the PIAAs I have now.

LUX 4 is discontinued. Think LUX 5 may be the brightest out there from what I can see.

I've done alot of searching and comparing and have decided to go with the lux 5.0
These to me are the brightest and whitest out right now.

Lux 4.0 and 5.0 have pretty much the same brightness but 4.0 being bluer. 5.0 matches the oem xenons well I believe the color temperature is around 4300k 4.0s are around 5000k. Btw lux 4.0/5.0 IMO are the best led angel eye upgrade for pre lci e90s you won't regret it. Hit up namotorsports.com

none of my angel eyes lasted more than a year(except PMBs

).....

I'm running lux 4.0 and RD.....

probably gonna try something new once one of those burn out too........

DC_driver · 03-01-2010, 09:10 PM

What are PMB's? And why do yours only last a year?

Do the Lux 5.0 last long? I will order a set but I don't want to have to replace them two years after installing. LED's should last many years.

PMBs(poor man's brex) do a search -- invented by longtran back in 2005.
