what would you like to tell us

absix · 04-17-2008, 08:51 AM

If you spent $300+ or planning to do so, you'd know. If I wanted invisible rings during the day, I was better doing it for free by just turning them off.

hov333 · 04-17-2008, 08:53 AM

wow thanks for the pics bro

nusevad · 04-17-2008, 08:57 AM

I am disappointed by the PIAAs, i thought they would be more visible during the day. My GP Thunders look almost as good as the PIAAs at night and you can still see them a bit daytime.

Streetfish · 04-17-2008, 09:10 AM

wow, that sucks. sorry bro you could prob sell them for quite a bit if you want to

absix · 04-17-2008, 09:12 AM

I am not that much about the 300 bucks, but I wanted the car to look great, that's why I bought the "best on the market".

This thread could save a few thousand dollars.

PIAA LED on E90... tremendous difference

PS: Photo & car courtesy of a friend of mine, he confirmed it's PIAA LED.

Laxdude · 04-17-2008, 09:44 AM

I haven't installed mine yet, but if that's the result they'll be for sale in a day or so...

Because on the E92, the light only comes from the inner ring, the outer ring reflects the light coming from the inner ring, on the E90, ... each ring produces it's own light through a same source, but separated.

Now that explains it... I should probably ditch the E90 photo.

GP thunder FTW

remmib · 04-17-2008, 10:21 AM

Loks like GP Thunder is a better way to go on the e92, atleast when you look at the cost also.

ironic · 04-17-2008, 10:32 AM

yeah sorry to hear, i had suspicions about this thogh

Please tell me where to get a pair of GP Thunders, I want to make a comparison (if you tell me the correct wattage/bulb type for E93 would help too).

Thanks.

2FST2C · 04-17-2008, 10:44 AM

wow, those suck! GPs are more visible in the day and they are only $15!

inabis · 04-17-2008, 10:44 AM
