I believe the 8500k thunders are both brighter and bluer than the mtecs. I can not say for sure since I have not seen the mtecs, but the thunders definitely look bluer/brighter in pics. All I can say is I have the thunders and they are very bright and very blue. Too blue for me, but definitely really bright.

Ya exactly there is mixed opinions...
As i said i ordered the Mtec Cosmos Blue h8 for Angels and the Mtec Super White h3 for inside bulb...
I'm only getting my car in 2 weeks so i guess i'll truly find out in person when my car arrives and i install them.

Well from my understanding in this thread the higher temperature you go the less light output you get. Meaning less bright so technically if this is true then the Mtec Cosmos Blue would definitely be brighter.
The Mtec Cosmos Blue are 4750k
The Gp Thunder are 8500k

That is it... I am leaving everything stock for now.... (I can't find any H8 GP Thunders on ebay anyway) i will experiment with Xenesis bulbs that I already have and go on from there.....

Alright. I just ordered mtec super whites and cosmos blue, when they arrive I will compare all three and let you know.

I too want a blueish tint to my angels but if it means sacrificing brightness then no way...
So it seems to me that the Mtec Cosmos Blue have the best of both worlds.
Brighter and Blueish tint.

Yes, I put in the GP thunders today, very bright, very blue. I like the bright, but they are too blue for me. They would look good on a black/white car imo, but not so much with my sprakling graphite. So I ordered some mtec super whites and cosmos blue AND an H3 super white for the inside bulb, when the mtecs all get here I will let you guys know what I think and post pics.

Do you guys want pics of fogs or angel eyes? Probably eyes, right?

Bad news, the seller just e-mailed me and the H8 super whites are oos for two weeks. So I told him to ship they all together, so no pics for two weeks.

I agree, the gp's are a little too fake looking IMO, too blue, a little ricey.

[youyou]

Ya pics would be great please...

http://myworld.ebay.com/automtec <---that guy. He has a bunch of buy it nows, so odds are he just ran oos. I'm not too worried about it. I just took some pics of the GPs, gimme two min to upload them.

Absolutely. Here are pics (they are much brighter in person, but it's a camera so what can you do):

Lights off:

Lights on:

As soon as I get the mtecs I will try them all and take a biiillion pics. I have a decent camera, but it's hard getting it to capture accurate color *and* light output. I will try my best. The pics above accurately show the color I am seeing in person, but not quite the brightness.

alright I didn't order from him... My doorbell just rang....my V1 just got here! Going to go check it out...install tomorrow.

Good to hear your not too worried about it.... Pics soon


EDit: thanks for the pics...light blue/ hint of purple is how i would describe them from the pics.

[picus]

Ya I guess I see the purple. It's less obvious in person, they look really blue to me in person, especially in the dark. Oh well, as soon as I get all the other ones I will just post as many pics as possible.

I will probably get rid of the thunders, but that's just a personal call. They look too fake to me, too blue-y.

They do look really blue--but not any "brighter" than my MTEC Super Whites--I am guessing that all of these are pretty comparable, with slight differences in the small amount of color that is put off--either blue, white, or purple. Personal pref, right?

[Shinchan]

LOL.. i forgot.. my GP thunder is in angel... try that and u will notice they are not that blue...

[Shinchan]

Yep. I will let you know for sure which is brighter when I get the Mtecs, gonna be a little bit though.
