E93 (E92) Angel eyes White Bulbs

eNINTY3 · 12-23-2009, 04:34 PM

Just a survey of what others have done, what is the best brand of white bulbs for the e93 angel eyes? Kinda sick of the amber lights I have on now.
Is there a DIY tutorial on this?

eNINTY3 · 12-23-2009, 04:36 PM

I have found this on ebay--

mjg335 · 12-23-2009, 04:48 PM

eNINTY3 · 12-23-2009, 05:42 PM

I had those on my E92 and those are fugly. Now I've LUX H8 leds, I think you should get same.

Just be wary of those bulbs, they will likely be invisible during the day

depends on how much money you want to spend... gp thunder's are the best bang for the buck... like 20 bucks shipped... lux and angelbright's are great if you want to spend 300...

I bought the RD Angel eyes. I've heard those are also great as well. I got them from ebay for about $120 shipped. I should be getting them within the next few days. When they come I'll put up a detailed DIY install guide.

bai2u · 12-24-2009, 02:39 PM

Either go Gp thunder for ~20 or all the way with Lux for ~200 something, don't go anywhere in between.

E92-Lighting · 12-24-2009, 02:46 PM

GP's are the "best" bang for the buck and 110% error free

sample shot of GP 8500k V2 bulbs

kmarei · 12-24-2009, 10:16 PM

best bang for the buck is HID
HID kits are around $75

From my own experience, I've found that "super white" halogen bulbs typically do not last all that long. Although, even if you have to replace them a few times, they are still cheaper than the LUXs in the end.

The LUX H8 might save you from numerous installs since it uses LEDs (I found the install to be a HUGE pain because there is absolutely no room to work in there). They are also one of the brightest and evenly lit set on the market now. Just some things to consider..

lol, not really bashing on anyone's car, but the gb thunders just don't look that great in the daytime. yes, i understand the lux h8's are more expensive, but you get brighter, more uniform rings and longer life. the uniformity of the rings is what i think keeps the car looking good. my preference would be lux h8 (or AiB) > stock > gb thunders. also, "best bang for the buck" implies quality, whereas i feel like with the gb thunders, you're just throwing your money away.
