►Installation of GP Thunder 8500k Angel Eyes◄

Vesar · 05-09-2011, 09:05 AM

●Review●
If you ask me i would probably say these are the best-cheap-high quality-awesome H8 lights
for your angel eyes. Very cheap (28$ shipped to Greece from e92-lighting).
These lights produce a clear LED like light which makes your BMW look even
better! I will post many pictures of the installation and how they look in person.
A big thanks to e92-lighting for the cheap price and for supplying me the bulbs. ♥ you
For those who wanna know i use my Canon SX20 IS

●Package●
So today after 1 week of anxious waiting i got the package with the bulbs inside
The shipping was really really quick I have to say.

●Installation●
Once i got to the car i knew what i was messing with because i have seen
many videos and stuff. Since i dont have cornering lights it was easier. For
those who dont know how to do it there is a good DIY here : www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_c8iIII31g

●Result●
I think that the drivers side bulb is bluer than the other

We will see..
Here are some daylight pictures I will post some night pictures later

I can't wait to get them installed, though I have an e90 so install is a little bit more difficult than yours...

Looks great, thanks for the review, im going to order them also!

Thye look good with the headlights off, but once you turn them on, they return back to the OEM color due to power distribution. I did the same thing at first, and recently upgraded to the Camaross 6k. They look good though, and nice write up.

Glad you like it

Bimmer84 · 05-09-2011, 11:05 AM

Thats interesting, just noticed where you are from. I will be taking a trip there pretty soon, I am currently in Kosovo, so it is only a few hours away.

dman918 · 05-09-2011, 12:49 PM

So when driving in the day, can you have it where the headlights are off but the angel eyes are on? I guess I am now questioning when I'll actually have these running and if they're worthwhile.
Thanks!

Bimmer84 · 05-09-2011, 12:53 PM

Yes, you can program the angle eyes to be day time running lights. Easier with iDrive, but I think it can be done through the stalk as well if you don't.

It appears they have done it for you.

dman918 · 05-09-2011, 01:30 PM

Ok I guess I just need to check. I have a 6 speed so does the car just need to be on or with the ebrake handle down?
Thanks.

I would believe so.

dman918 · 05-09-2011, 09:51 PM

Looks like the angel eyes aren't on even with DRL enabled. Is there a way to change this?

Ghost170 · 05-10-2011, 12:41 AM

These has to be wired with HID boxes or just a bulb replacement ? Sorry I'm a big noob when it comes to lights, and electronics in general
