LED's produce a barely a fraction of heat vs halogens and your car will most likely rust out before LED's reach their EOL. So no worries there

Eventually, you will be concerned about the output of these bulbs due to the design limitation of the angel eye rings, which is why some H8's for angel rings are favored over others

These H8 bulbs will fit in your angel eyes, however they might cause error message. As well they will be very dim since those bulbs do not output much light and are not optimized for the angel eye fixtures.

I used them for a while...they weren't horrible for the price.

The inner ring was actually super bright...the outer ring was non-existent lol

I actually had a guy at Cars n Coffee ask me how i did it^ lol he asked if i coded OFF the outer ring answer is, no i didn't guy, those bulbs just suck

Happy with my GP thunders for now
