You gotta be quick on ebay. I checked a few times today on ebay and nothing popped up. So about an hour ago i decide to give it one last try before i log off and boom voila. So i grabbed them right away, because i know you guys are probably checking all the time as well and they would be gone within the hour. So keep on checking they'll pop up soon enough. Oh and what's up with your ride Ben? Have you gotten it back yet? Are they giving you a time frame? |

I was lucky to find a pair of GP Thunder H8's on ebay, so I ordered them for my angel eye's. I have also ordered MTec Super White H8's for the foglights and H3's for the other turning lights. I will post pics as soon as the job is complete.

Here's throwing a monkey wrench into the mix.... Looking for a high quality bulb and knowing that PIAA is not yet out with their H8, what about Hella Optilux Xenon bulbs?

Nothing yet. The bulbs are all shipping today, so I should have them by Wednesday. I will have pics up by the weekend.

Heres a couple of Angels in DRL mode
GP Thunder H8's In the DRL mode they are VERY bright, very visible even in Daylight. In the pic at night they are so bright it reflects off the cornering light and makes them look "on". It's just the picture. Not too blue as you can see. I know people are concerned, don't be. They don't look fake at all. Just Super bright White, tiny bit of blue/purple. Awesome IMO.

How's the quality of those GP Thunder bulbs? Those pics look awsome.

These two are with the H3 cornering lights activated.
These are Mtec Super White H3. So as you can see the Super White Mtec H3 with the GP Thunder H8 match VERY well with the factory Xenons. I am happy with the results and will stay with this Combo. |

One more. This is of the Driver side. Cornering light activated.
Again this is Mtec super white H3 cornering light. GP Thunder H8 Angel eye bulb. Hope these help. They look much better from a distance, trust me! Color looks perfect. But, it's hard to get a photo if you step back away. The brightness washes out the picture. ***Note: The first two pictures gives the truest idea of color, as once the Xenons or cornering lights are on it screws up the color a little due to the high light output****** |

I think in the DRL mode the Super whites looked fine. When they went to normal mode IE: Lights on they werent white enough IMO. Read up a few posts. I have tried both, and despite those two photos when they are operating with the lights on, Mtec looked not so white. Both look better than stock. Last edited by JIMD1709; 01-29-2007 at 11:05 AM.. |

Any comment on this?
I recieved this eMail back from Mtec regarding getting the same bulbs you guys bought, for my 335i Sedan. This makes NO sense at all.
"Hi, Yes, we have both kits for you. The BMW E90 requires special kit instead of regular H7 kit for the headlight. So the price is much higher. If you buy both kits (headlight & fog light), the price will be $670 shipped. Thank you. Regards, Frank" What the hecK Nearly $700 for some headlight bulbs? The E90 and E92 should have the same stupid lights (I have the active lights.) And does 55w translate in 6000 brightness? On their website the 6000's cost mnega bucks... Terry |

ok i was in my garage yesterday messing around with my car's headlights. i noticed that the DRLs are just as white as the MTEC super white pics on this forum. the stock bulbs look exactly the same as DRLs judging by the pics. they are very bright and a pure white. BUT when the xenons are on, they turn an amber color. what is the reason for this? isn't it the same bulb?
