Install time took about 5 minutes per side and was way easier than I thought. I went with the 8500K for both cornering and angel eyes. I am waiting for the 8500K fogs which should arrive any day. They are a bit bluer than the HID's, but I like it

[m3pare]

[iheartsole]

[JayeJaymes]

the fogs will definitely add to the mix, looking good!

Excellent! I went with the 7500's and I think they are blue. I can't imagine the 8500's...

7500k should be a pure white color, did you get gp thunders or a different brand?

I am not sure if you have HID's or halogen, but here are instructions for HID. I will also explain how to change out the H3 cornering bulbs as well.

Tools you will need:

1. Philips screwdriver
2. Pair of latex gloves
3. Needle nose plyers



Remove the 3 philip's screws on the access panel to expose the cavity to the cornering bulb. You will notice a brown wire that extends from the back of the bulb. Take your set of needle nose and gently pull the wire out to disconnect. For the next step, if you have smaller hands you can do this without the needle nose. You will notice that there is a u-shaped pin supporting the bulb to the housing. Pinch the ends to release the bulb. Install replacements and you are good to go!!




For the Angel eyes, you will notice a fan like cover on the back of the light housing. If you are looking from the front, turn the cover clock-wise to release it. If you peek in the hole, you will see the back of the bulb housing that is angled about 45 degrees. There is not a whole lot of room to work with, but all I did was take my 2 index fingers and squeezed the sides of the bulb housing. Now turn it counter-clock-wise so that the bulb housing is vertical. You can now pull out the bulb using your thumb and index finger. Bulb can now be replaced. Make sure the fan-like cover is put back on tight to prevent moisture build up in the housing. That is it!! Literally a 10 minute job!!

how come i install the GP thunder 8500k and it looks so dim.. yours look so brighter than me! is your install different than mine?

Mine car is the same as yours BTW

[Diesel///M]

looks good

Just make sure the bulb is nice and secure. The rubber gasket on the bulb housing should be snug against the headlight housing. Gaps in the seal will lose light.

i have the halogens does it make a difference?

[Drakos]

I haven't looked under the hood with a vehicle with halogens, so I can't elaborate too much. If you see the same light housing under your hood, it should be the same.

Nice! That's my next mod on my list.

It's all under your hood

[CaliE90]
