best foglight match for e92 LCI angel eyes?

chrisE92 · 05-30-2011, 12:43 AM

What do you guys think? I tested my gp thunder 8500k, both V1 and V2, and neither of them are a good match. I tried the mtec 4350k superwhite's as well, but they match the xenons better than the angel eyes. I tried searching for the color temperature of the lci angel eyes, and it seems like I'm getting 6000k-7000k.

Can anybody confirm this? Or can anyone suggest bulbs that are a better match? Thanks.

Best bulb match is the GP THUNDER 7500K H8 SUPERWHITE, the 8500K you tried is too blue.

...

why not go with the LUX 8 ?

I haven't seen anyone use lux h8 for foglights.. nowhere to put the power supply anyway. I don't want to spend more than $20 on bulbs for foglights.

i have the lux and ordered the GP thunder 7500k. should have them in by next weekend. can you use the lux as a fog light?

I have OSS angel eyes which are supposed to be similar to LCI angels and let me tell you that the GP Thunder's don't really match at all, they seem to match more with the stock xenons.

I was told to try mtec cosmos blue which I have on order now.

I wouldn't try using the lux as foglights, just because there wouldn't be a safe place to secure the power supply.

Ok, please post pictures when you install the mtec bulbs!

I didn't fit the lci headlights to my car, my friend actually got an e93 lci so I'm helping him mod it. The title is a typo lol.
