they should be a lot brighter than that. maybe u didn't install correctly...or fully?
its a very small space and you have to turn quite a lot to get it fully installed....maybe find someone with small hands to get in there and see if it'll turn anymore

Idk man try when it gets a little darker outside. The outer ring really sucks. I love how they look when it's dark out, but during the day my OEM ones looked a lot better.

aandrew335 · 01-14-2012, 04:37 PM

Heres mine during the late afternoon. Still bright. You probably didnt install correctly. I know for me, It took a while to get the lights all the way in and turned into position. Positive you didnt install it fully.

Louchie · 01-14-2012, 04:48 PM

Is it just the pics or are your headlights tinted?

It's really light tint

mochi · 01-14-2012, 05:48 PM

Try this take out the bulbs. And have the bulb facing you inside the engine bay. Then unlock your car or turn on your car and check if all 4 leds,are powered on. Maybe some of the leds were blown or are a bad batch.

my GP Thunder's glow like that, you didn't install it correctly

try screwing them on correctly. If they aren't then it won't light up the way it's supposed to.

MassBimmer · 01-14-2012, 06:03 PM

You need to make sure that the LUX are installed properly and that all of the tabs on the unit are locked in. I see this too many times where guys think there's something wrong with their angel eyes only to find they didn't install them correctly. LUX is the best in the business, this looks like user error to me.
