Installed the LUX H8 160s (PICS)

Installed the Lux H8 160s today and it's a major upgrade from the stock lights. They were a breeze to install just plug and play.

I took a picture when I got home but it was already nearing dusk so the lights are a bit overexposed and flooded in picture. The inside ring is very defined in person.




I will try again tomorrow and see if I can get a better picture to do the inside ring justice. I just took a drive around the neighborhood and the visibility has dramatically increased. The brighter lights light up the road more and most noticeably the illumination is wider reaching further onto the sides of the road.

Great job Lux!

Thanks for the recommendation! These are the first aftermarket modifications that I have really considered. And great before sale support.

They look really sharp and are super bright, even in direct sunlight.

This is a must upgrade for me, makes the truck look so much better.

Sweet...! Thanks, i've seen these on other models but not on the X's. I've also understood that the angel eye design itself is not the greatest on our cars. Hence, the net effect isn't so WOW! Guess they were wrong!

I have the LUX H8 V4's on mine, which I'm totally happy with but I suffer from newer model envy! Anyone know if these are much different?

I think the 160's are a bit brighter and the rings are a bit more defined (less fuzzy). This is what I gathered from a lot of internet and message board research comparing pictures. Not a night and day difference, just slight improvement. Hope this helps
