A hex head screw driver or hex head wrench...

h3 - cornering
h8 - fogs + angels

class is over.

my bad, for some reason i thought u were talking about the angel lights. i used a normal monkey wrench, not a hex wrench. the hex wrench is prob a lot easier. it took me a long time with the monkey wrench, but it got the job done.

same thing im doing for my fogs, but im pretty positive Nokyas will cause an error code. Stick with mtech or GP

Im debating putting them in the angels as well.

Why cant someone just make a freakin red bulb?!?!?!

It's rated at 35watts...i don't see why it would, can someone link me to the Mtec bulbs? the ones i found on ebay are like 30 bucks...that's damn expensive for these bulbs

Got my GP installed last night. Looks way better than stock, but like others have mentioned, not as bright. It also matches the stock xenon really well. Now I just need a pair a mtec H3 for the cornering and mtec H8 for fogs and I'll be done.

i could be wrong, i just remember reading about a member using Nokyas and they threw a code. They may not have been 35w, and they may have no been used for the fogs.

I did a quick search and couldnt find the post, but it exists.

Hey guys, I'm new to this thread too and I've only read pages 1-3 and 13-16... and I DON'T WANT TO READ ANYMORE!!! =*( --thats 175posts!

From what I've gathered, a lot of you are doing combos of the MTECs and GP Thunders... my question is, why don't you just use one type of bulb for both the angel eyes and the fog lights/ Don't you want the colors to match?

I personally want strictly white angel eyes and foglights (NO purple/blue)... would getting MTEC Superwhite H8 bulbs for the angel eyes AND foglights be so bad? Anyone else do this?

Haha your post is funny...

It's a hit and miss thing as far and matching goes...and usually if you stay with the same bulb making and the same kelvin temperature rating, you'd be pretty close with the matching...good luck

Yeah only in Europe for now, but the guys at E92kits.com made a similar kit that is more aggressive looking...not sure when they will be available..


The front open is just begging for an intercooler

I went with Mtec on the fogs and cornering because they matched. GP's looked a little too Blue for the fogs and cornering IMO. They all match up perfect now, as the Angels burn at a lower intensity, they look good a with a little whiter / blue. The Mtec's were not white enough on the Angels for me. Still had some yellow in them. On the fogs and cornering they looked awesome.

I've got some of those coming for my fogs too, along with GP for angel eyes, and Mtec Super Whites for the cornering. You already install the nokyas on your fogs for your e92? If ya do I'd like to seem em if ya don't mind, I work in DC and live in Fairfax.

[KrnNamja83]

Here are some pics of my new lightning setup
angeleyes = GP 8500k
fogs = nokya 2500k
corners = mtec super white
hid = stock



This first one is of the angeleye with the GP 8500k. Note the purple and pink, its hard to see in the other pics, but those hues really show through!



The next one is of the nokya 2500k installed into the angeleyes for the hell of it. IRL the nokyas are much brighter then the GPs and are heavily yellow (almost orange) in the angeleyes.



The finished product with the GPs in the Angel eyes and the nokyas as the fogs



Shot from front of car to show better detail, note the nokyas are actually alot brighter and yellower then in the pictures



Another face shot, this depicts the color a little better



Lastly a long exposure with the e92 and the e90 side by side




The nokyas are so fricken bright and yellow, while I was crusing with my woman, she noticed how every light shaded car, every sign basically turns yellow, or yellowish. It improves visibility DRAMATICALLY even in non inclement weather, but seeing as how it lights up everything so much, I wonder if it will bother other drivers.

The pictures were taken with a Canon 20D using a Sigma 24-70mm lense and a Canon 10-20mm lense if anyone cares.

Just installed GP Thunder for Angel Eyes and Xenonmatch for fog tonight. Both look great and perfect match. Picture will be up later.

the H3 bulb that comes on when you turn your steering wheel a certain amount to either side.
