Feedback on GP thunders
Have any of you guys had any problems with GP thunders so far? I have just ordered two pairs (7500k) to use on my e92 as angel eye lights and fogs. In the past I've heard of bulbs that help create that white, bright look, but draw too much power, heating up the housing (like those PIAA hyperwhite bulbs, 55w=110w). From what I heard, GP thunders only draw 35w, so it wont cause any issues. Also do these bulbs burn out fast?
Just want to sure before I install them and regret my decision. Thanks! |

I've had GP thunders for about 8 months and no problems.
You can't go wrong with GP's and it's a cheap mod that makes a huge difference.

Had GP's for ~ 6 months now, absolutely no problems.
There are a small minority that hate the GPs but for the price you can't beat them.

I just installed my gp 7500ks. I can only see the difference when the daytime running lights are on. When the headlights are on at night, they look just as yellow as stock????

What you mentioned and the inability to see the GPs in broad daylight are the two issues with GPs.

I might get some 8500k. I saw them in person and they looked brighter and less yellow with the headlights on.

i have the 8500k H8s in my angel eyes and fogs and they look great, ESPECIALLY when you consider the price. had them in for about 2.5 months and have no issues with them at all (http://www.soflae90.com/forum/showthread.php?t=184)

yeah, I was wrong, there is a difference, itys just not what I expected. Its not as white as it should be. Theres still a hint of yellow. They look great when just the angel eyes are on during the day though
