How dim are we talking? Like the outer ring with a GP thunder?

THERE MUST BE A WAY!

XYR, i use GP Thunder 8500k also. the whole process took 10min. got my bulbs for 16 dollars plus 5 shipping= 21 dollars Just to let you know, all these cheap after-market bulbs arent suppose to last forever. Expect 3-6 months life , even if it last longer than that it will get dimmer. But oh well its only 21 dollars. So maybe you want to buy 2 sets. Its still worth it
