... greetings ... running the LUX H8 Ver3 with GP Thunder 7500 H8 bulbs in the fog lights and GP Thunder 7500 H3 bulbs in the "cornering" lights ... color match is very close
maybe some gents with MTECH's installed could chime in

... will try to post a day/evening & night picture sometime later today or tomorrow ...
... on our model 328i e90 lci (xenon adaptive) the "cornering" light will come on at slow speeds while turning the steering wheel (ex: parking lot) and every time you engage reverse (i believe it is called parking assist) ...

... GP Thunder 7500 H8 light bulbs in Fog lights from here with LUX H8 bulbs for AE's - (taken with a rather useless cell camera - but you get the picture) ...
... will post better pictures with the "cornering" lights ON using also GP Thunder 7500 H3's ... (Picture: 2011 328i e90 lci xenon/adaptive AE: LUX H8 (H8 bulb) - Fog: GP Thunder 7500 (H8 bulb) - Corner Assist: GP Thunder 7500 (H3 bulb)) DRL (AE) are ON (no dimming) - Xenon are ON - Fog are ON - Corner Assist NOT ON

... will do probably sometime tomorrow time permitting ... you can achieve that particular look by turning your light control switch all the way to the right and then turn your fog lights on ... the combination of the LUX H8 and the GP Thunder fog lights looks very nice during day light and at dusk/night ...
if you check "my garage" under the user name you can see a photograph taken next to the f25 which has the new led angel eyes ... the LUX H8 are very close (not as bright and crisp yet very close - photo taken with a "crapy" cell camera) ... next project "corner light delete" ... jumping into the world of coding ... oh boy ...

For the corner bulbs, the 80-Watt Noyka Cosmic White bulbs from HighPerformanceBulbs.com kick ass. The color match is so perfectly white you could swear it wasn't from a halogen bulb. And the 80-Watts of power consumed more than offsets the light output lost from the color tinting (not a coating, this is a serious bulb!)

Check out the width--park let's say 10, 15 feet from a large wall and note the difference in width--it's another 2-3 meters wider at least! |
