AngeliBright Install GP Thunder compare

Ron@Modbargains · 07-01-2009, 02:57 PM

Great to see, but not a real fair compairson.

Considering the AiB is several hundreds and the GP thunders are $15, plus one is a led the other is a bulb replacment. Would be interesting to compare it side to side with the BLU product or the RD LED product.

They are the best two solutions... that is why they are being compared. GP Thunders alone are not great, but with the camaross305 "elite" kit they are much better and also more than $15 so it is more fair to compare if you are taking price into consideration.

The AiB is not "several hundreds", not sure where you are coming up with these figures. GP thunder bulbs are $15, but there is an additional power harness involved (if using caraross's kit for full voltage to the bulbs), which increases cost slightly.

RD is not even a comparison, it's completely washed out by daylight.

I guess I'm due for a partial refund because I paid several hundred dollars for mine.

You paid the same price as they've always been since introduction.

The kits have been selling very well on their own - with plenty coming in through our doors for complimentary installation.

FYI:

Several refers to more than two! So Ron is correct to say several

from dictionary.com:
sev⋅er⋅al [sev-er-uhl, sev-ruhl] Show IPA
–adjective
1. being more than two but fewer than many in number or kind: several ways of doing it.
2. respective; individual: They went their several ways.
3. separate; different: several occasions.
4. single; particular.
5. Law. binding two or more persons who may be sued separately on a common obligation.

AiB's definitely looks good. Can't wait to see LUX vs AiB.

Oh and to those mentioning the flickering..I think it happens with all LED angel eyes. You won't get that on stock or gpthunders.

J08M3 · 07-01-2009, 09:36 PM

So I checked on the flickering tonight and my AiB do not flicker. In fact the only time I noticed a flicker was with my HIDs when DRL was set to off

The AiB is much better looking at night and just the right brightness for both rings to be clearly and crisply lit

Z4dave · 07-01-2009, 10:12 PM

No flickering here

nusevad · 07-01-2009, 11:46 PM

cant wait to see this

brandon @ eas · 07-02-2009, 02:57 PM

We had some time today so we made a few short videos:

From these angles you can see a number of things:

-High visibility from extended distance
-High visibility in direct sunlight
-Close up in shade
-Unlock and lock demonstration
-Ignition on/off

Also note that there is no flickering when the ignition is turned on or off, or locked/unlocked

Hit "HQ" to watch the video in high definition

J08M3 · 07-02-2009, 03:51 PM

Mine are not visible in direct sunlight! Other than that, they look good though.
