Alternatives to GP Thunders for fogs/DRLs?

Wake27 · 03-09-2009, 12:37 AM

So after lots and lots of searching on fog and DRL upgrades, I was wondering if anyone had any reliable/quality alternatives to GP Thunders. I was initially looking at these:

http://www.**********s.com/product.a...PThunder_H7_MW

and

http://www.**********s.com/product.a...92_Foglight_DC

But after searching to see what other members think, I have only seen tons of mixed reviews. One member will love them, another hate them, all for various reasons. Even though they are cheap (honestly part of the reason I don't trust them), I don't feel its worth it to waste the money or time.

I can't find much for alternatives however. I really want some that are blue, or white at least. I was hoping maybe RD had some but couldn't find any so any pics, links, or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I bought Nokya 7000K replacement bulbs for my fogs. It looks better because it matches the headlights better. I would like to upgrade the DRL since they are that ugly amber color and also my angel eyes. It would be cool if there was an easier method to change the DRL's to the angle eyes. I have seen some DIY's about it and it looks like a lot of work.

check the sponsors forum and the lighting/electronics/etc subforum. vendors sell plenty of the rd's..... if you wanna drop some serious $$$ and have some custom stuff done otherside sounds (think that's his name) has angel eyes that are lit up during the day but u'll have to send him your headlights. he then opens them up and installs the rings and sends them back
