When they are not in the DRL mode, they are not putting out the full 35 watts,(25w I beleive my muti-meter said) hence they won't look as bright white. The good news is they should last longer.


That is why I took the super whites out, and they will be suitable for the foglights. When running at the lower wattage in the angel eyes they still were not White enough for me. Super white or the hoens, both @ 4300k are a great match for the H3 cornering lights and H8 fogs, when getting full power. GP Thunders are too Blue for those applications to me.

All look better than stock IMO.
Is there a way to make the inner ring STAY that way when the Xenons are on? I think that would look sick!
