i changed out the back signals for silvervisions and they look nice, but they weren't as noticeable to begin with. i also changed out the side markers for white lights (look blue when off) and those are pretty cool. real easy to do.

... waiting for new H3/H8 lights, on order...
What lights did u use for the side lights?

Which H# and H* Bulbs did u order?

I just ordered on Ebay the Mtec h8 Cosmos Blue and the Mtec h3 Super White.
I wanted the h8 Super Whites for my fogs but they are out of stock so i'll get those for my fogs when he receives some in.
I really hope the h8 Cosmos Blue and the h3 Super White (for inside bulb) match well...

Shinchan has posted the procedure to change these lights earlier on this thread--maybe the 5th or 6th page? I can't remember....

That's exactly what i'm looking for as well.
I ordered the Mtec Cosmos Blue and the Mtec Super White h3 for the inside bulb.
Waiting on the Mtec Super White h8 for the fogs...
Hopefully that will do the job but i'm only getting my car in 2 weeks so i guess we'll see...

I haven't tried anything but the MTEC bulbs, but they are VERY noticeable--look much better than the stock. PLus they are reasonably priced, so it isnt going to kill you to buy some....

I initially had the Mtec Super white H8 and H3. I was totally pleased with the H3, when they come on the look just like the factory xenons.

The H8 for the angel, I didn't like. I switched to GP Thunder H8's and am VERY happy with the combination.

Go up a few posts ( post #235)and look at the Original posters pics of the GP Thunders. Actually post #115 gives a better look. They look awesome, and I will stick with them. They look esspecially wicked when used as DRL's.

With the E92, you can switch the DRL's at will via your on board settings, no trip to the dealer. So you can experiment.

My Super White Mtecs will go to my foglights. Pretty cool it's the same bulb (H8).

Good luck.

Alright, is there some super secret way to pop out the fogs? I have the hex nuts out, have the plastic pulled back, but the stinking bulb will not come out. Tried both sides, I'm thinking I need to do a little twist or something, but can't figure it out.

Nevermind, got it. The wire clip was stuck so I couldn't turn clockwise. Just had to give it a good pull.

Oh, FWIW, I got these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GP-Th...9729QQtcZphoto

...and they are really blue. I might swap them for some lower temp/whiter bulbs. We will see.

Be Honest good do they look in person?
Those are the ones I did. I did fogs only for now; they are very bright and very blue in person. I think they will look great on black/silver/white cars as the angels. On my SG car not so much, I am leaving the angels stock and just changed the fogs. I'll take pics later.

I have the Xenesis h-8's waiting to be installed on the fogs & I am thinking about getting GP Thunder 8500K for the angels? Obviously I can have them other way around as well? Any opinions? Does anyone have that combo?

For angels, I am going after the brightest & white/bluish color possible. Is GP Thunder the best way to go?
