GP Thunder 7500k Installed

IbanezGod · 09-18-2012, 12:44 PM

I don't see any before and after photos, am i missing them???

jqsmooth · 09-18-2012, 01:05 PM

Looks great! I just ordered them. If I don't like the brightness, I'll just switch them back to stock.

IbanezGod · 09-18-2012, 01:54 PM

wonder how these look with stock AEs.... I never upgraded my AEs to the bright lights.

So h8 is for the inner bulb that turns on when you turn the wheel correct? Theirs no h3 in the headlight is their?

H3 is for the center light when you turn the wheels. H8 is for the rings

I too went with 7500k GP thunders. The best $17 ever spent. I was about to order Lux AEs glad I didn't. Couldn't be happier with the GPs.

What do you have to do to get these coded brighter? Apologies if this is a trivial question....

thanks

Got my GP Thunder V2 7500k from Ebay seller premiertek_com http://www.ebay.ca/usr/premiertek_com. Box seemed like it was opened as the sticker that holds the box together was slightly peeled.

After installing the unit, the bulbs were certainly not "Super White". I would call them "Off White". The pictures actually make them look "BETTER" than they actually are in real life.

With HIDs on:

With HIDs off:

If you don't care about color matching, I guess these are adequate as a temporary replacement. The bulbs are also somewhat dim especially when the main HIDs are on.

LEDs dont have this issue of dimming "off" when the angel eyes are activated
