Why are my GP Thunders yellow?
Had a set of GP Thunders installed yesterday at Autocouture. Didn't have time to check them as I was running very late. On my way home I saw the reflection of the angel eyes in another car, it looked a little less yellow than stock.
What gives? All the pics I've seen of the GP Thunder I've seen look very white. |

Are you looking at them with the headlights on or off.
With the headlights on the voltage is cut in half, with the headlights off they are a full power as daytime running lates. Makes quite the difference in how they look. |

the biggest reason that your not happy with them is the fact they they are still halogen bulb. it is a yellowish filament covered by blue so its just changing the color. Blue+Yellow makes green.
If you are looking for a true colored solution we recommend switching to a LED bulb such as out LUX H8 V3 angel eyes. Sal's shop can get them installed for you as well |

The day time running lights were disabled with my car which is why I never saw the GP Thunders at full power. I turned the parking lights/headlights on and was confused as to why they were yellow. Found a PDF install from burgertuning regarding aftermarket angel eyes, set my DTRL to on and they work just fine. BTW I called autocouture and they said no problem just bring the car in and they will fix it for me. Wish I had known about the DTRL needing to be on Anyways, thanks to everyone who posted and thanks to AutoCouture for their great customer support. |
