Best GP Thunder setup for Jet black E92?
I was thinking of changing out my angel eyes and wanted to get sort of that hyper-white/with a hint of blue look and was looking at GP Thunders 8500k or 7500k. My license plate lamps are 7000k so I want to match that a little, but it's not as blue as I hoped it would be so that's why I was thinking of getting the 8500k. I was also thinking of doing 8500k/7500k also for the fog lights. Would this be a bad idea to go all 8500k or 7500k or should I get different lights for the fogs?

hmm i had gp thunder 8500k angels and fogs...bought them off e92-lighting.com from Derrick excellent service and fast shipping even to the UK etc BUT im telling you now for the fogs they're excellent but for the angels dont bother...during the day only the inner ring lights up the outer is barely visable and when it gets dark and u switch ur lights on they're going to dim down to a dull yellow...so what i did was went back on the site and purchased the RD LED Angel eye upgrade which was totally worth the money! its ok visability wise during the day and at night it looks wicked doesnt dim down at all has a nice blue'ish tint to it regardless of the 7000k colour temp (bluer than the 8500k gp thunder angel eyes were in my opinion) its the same lighting setup as the white e92 on the homepage of the site...you may hear bad things about it doing research but those are usually about the V1's...Derrick only stocks V2's now and alot of people prefer the LUX 8 but they're not blue'ish at all they're very white 6500k colour temp...and i know exactly what you're after because i got a black saphire metallic so i was going for the same thing and achieved it with the RD LED angel eyes and the GP Thunder 8500k fog lights

Yea I installed the GP Thunders 7500KV2 today... I wasn't too excited about it after installing it.. it wasn't that Bright at all.. I bought 2 sets 1 for my angels and the other for my FOGS... but i don't think i wanna do either.. I sent an e-mail to Derrick to see if i can return one of my 7500kV2 for an 85KV2.. and prolly dish out the cash for MTEC's or RD for my Angels.. Great service and fast shipping and all but it just didn't turn out the way i hope it would of.. oh by the way mines is Titanium Silver Metallic.

Just spend the extra money and get something that would actually be visible during the day. I had the GP Thunders, at night they were fine and in the day virtually invisible , not to mention that when the car was off, and when you walked up to it , it appears blue.

I have the earlier production 07 E92s and I heard the RD AE will give a code.
