Hey everyone,
I am thinking about either swap my headlights into GP thunder 7500 superwhite or getting lux h8 angel eyes. Obviously the GP thunder lightbulbs are much cheaper. Do they look a lot worse than the lux h8? Or should i save money and get the GP thunder? I still hear people say that lux h8 is great, but still does not look good as the OEM LCI headlights, now which OEM LCI headlights are they talking about here??? Please help me out Thanks a lot!

I have had RD LEDs, GP Thunder 7500K and now LUX H8 Version 3. LUX is by far the best of these for the E90 LCI angel eyes. People compare these to the OEM E92 LCI angel eyes, which are LED from the factory.

So the OEM E90 LCI angel eyes are not LED, but the E92 ones are?

I don't think you're talking about LUX are you? Lux is definitely an upgrade from GPs. Altho GPs aint bad unless your engine aint on.

So are you saying that the blue tinted H8 bulb is actually brighter than the H8 LED? I ordered a set of GP Thunder 18 LED's from here and will be curious as to how they'll look

Those are going to flicker and throw errors...hate to break it to you, but you just wasted $20.

Do the OEM e92 LCI LEDs fit the e90 LCI?

Well, let me put it like this: there are cheaper products, but you're going to be disappointed with them. There's a reason people love and pay the premium the LUX product--because it's so darn good! You can pay less for interior products, but you will find that they only look good at night, and barely show up during the daytime. If you get the LUX, you're not going to be disappointed.

They suck at night too once you turn on the headlights they turn real dim. Worse than stock.

I assume you're not talking about LUX right? Because those don't dim at all

Yeah, wasn't talking about LUX. I have them and they are great.

Sorry for the confusion but I meant to quote this part.

Ok, thx... I've seen 2011 e92 with brilliant white stock DRL - I assume they run on LEDs and would be curios to know what brand they use

That's a good question, it's a BMW part, and it's absurdly expensive to replace. The heatsink on it is massive. The angel eye bulbs were developed alongside the new angel eyes, no question. Henceforth, it's absurdly bright. I personally love the way it looks.

If you have any questions about the LUX H8 V3 angel eyes feel free to send me a PM or e-mail.

So, are you saying that the GP Thunder 8500k tinted bulbs are brighter than the GP Thunder LEDs?...I checked your site and the bulbs look OK in the shadow, but I'm wondering how they would look in the sun - I assume they would be much dimmer than the stock, due to the extra coating @ same power output
