Just installed GP thunder 8.5k w/pic

cto · 05-28-2007, 09:50 PM

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but just wanted to share some photos for those who are interested.
So I got my GP thunder 8500k H8 bulb in mail this week and just switched out my stock bulbs with these tonight. They are kind of hard to change if you have big hands, but once you did one side, the other side will be easier.
They are not so blue~ish as someone thinks, just white, which I like.

Heres 2 before , 2 after and 2 pics of my dirty car (with just DRL on, no hid):

Looks good. I have a set of these at home already waiting to be installed as soon as my car arrives.

Thanks guys!!

I ordered it from the site the the other guy posted on the thread, I forgot the link, but its about $35 usd.
They are not as noticeable in the day time, coz obviously the stock yellow~ish colour stands out more.

not as blue as i thought...

stooken · 05-30-2007, 01:16 PM

You said the last 2 pictures are of the DRL and no HID, so the stock headlights on the E92 are HID?

I've been trying to get this answered for a while now.

compare 1st pic with 3rd pic.

look at the exposure of the car.

u can tell the light source is therefore dimmer in the 3rd pic in real life compared to the 1st cuz the car needs to be exposed so much more to get the same effect on the light.
