Either way, thanks to the OP for doing the comparo.
In all fairness, it is possible to make the LEDs as bright as the H8 halogens. The only problem is that it would make the solution more complicated. People will need to spend more time to install the kit and the kit will be more expensive than the cheap GP Thunder bulbs.

So, my conclusion is: PnP LED solution simply doesn't work.

I agree with Kev; you got it!!!

As Kev said; Plug and Play LED solution simply doesn't work because those LED’s are too weak and the metal plate (heat sink) are too small to dissipate the heat.

First, electronic woot, please stop advertising in my thread. Nothing personal, but this is about M-Force and the RD LED Angel Eye Solution, not you trying to get sales from this thread. I am not trying to be difficult at all.

The reality is that unless you are at the exact level looking at the RD Angel eye, then you will not see it during the day. When you pull up to a car in front of you, the RD Angel Eyes are completely invisible where the GP Thunder are obvious. If using angel eyes during the night are most important to you, then the RD are for you. If you want bright DRL Angel eyes, then the RD are not for you.

Mach, M-Force has made a loud impression to me and that is you care about your customers. You have proven to sell nothing less than quality products, at great prices, and have shown customer service is the platform you built your company around. On top of that, your company is definitely an innovative group interested in bringing the products we want to the market as your M3 side skirt thread also proves. You have a customer here my friend that is not going anywhere.

Thanks for the kind words! You won't be let down with the M3 skirts. The factory said they look simply amazing. The fitment will be 100% dead on.
We will continue to give you updates as we hear them from our main office.

Good customer service and affordable quality products is how we do business.
We dedicate all our time&effort to serve e90post better, and provide customers with the highest quality product!

Thanks for the honest review. To me, DRL visibility during the day is more important so guess I'm gona stick to my GP Thunder 7500K.

Thanks. I just want people to be clear on what they are getting. There are advantages to each, but it is important that when you buy something you are going with with full knowledge.
