GP Thunder 8500K E92 Angel Eyes

T Bone · 12-21-2007, 07:45 PM

I had the Noyka bulbs which looked good but threw error codes when the Xenons were put on.

I swapped them with the GP Thunders....looks great and no codes...

First photo is stock

T-Bone where did you pick up your GP's? I've been trying to source in Canada.

T Bone · 12-22-2007, 11:01 AM

I ordered them from http://www.hid-lights.com/

I couldn't find them in Canada....Pac Mall only has the Noyka's.

Goto the blue bar on the left and select Xenon Bulbs then the GP Thunder 8500K and then pick the H8 35 Watt Standard (don't pick high output). They are not LEDs....

I am surprise few have done this mod.....the car looks insane coming at you.

I posted this question in a separate thread, but thought I would try here:

Did the GPs fit tight/snug when you installed them?

When I installed mine they were rather loose, yet they were "secure" - meaning that it felt like all three tabs were engaged, and there was a click at the end, but the red gasket seal was not snug against the lighting housing.

I tried this with two different sets with similar results. One of those sets went to the fogs, where they were nice and snug. The OEM Osrams were also snug, so I'm thinking it's user error, but this is not rocket science.

Any thoughts?

Same issue......looser but not too different than the Noykas.....

hov333 · 12-22-2007, 05:03 PM

the highout put ones u say arent LEDs but does it matter what they are if its brighter? just tryin to understand why 1 over the other, isnt brighter better? or do u like the actual color of the LEDs?

Don Nguyen · 12-22-2007, 05:08 PM

Looking good!

LEDs suck for this application. Here are some pics of my M6....I upgraded 3 times from PIAA bulbs, Umnitza Predator Ice HO and now to Angel iBrights v.30. The M6 system is based on LEDs and WAY too dim.....

BTW, in the 08 5 and 6 series, they imitated the E92 halogen based angel eyes using 35watt halogen bulbs instead of shitty LEDs......

hov333 · 12-22-2007, 05:19 PM

o ok, so eventho the "standard" 35w halogen that IS NOT "high output", is actually brighter than the "high output" leds??

one more thing, do you have any experience with their HID kits for foglights??

Yes. If you use anything more than 35watts on the E92, you will get an error code.

Don - you should push the Angel iBrights v.3 over on M5board....they are by far the best system...no external ballast and the brighest.

Sorry guys, I am a bit obsessesed with BMW angel eyes.....I think they make the cars pop out on the road.

hov333 · 12-22-2007, 05:38 PM

sounds good, do i just need 1 pair?
