Installed GP Thunder Corona Ring bulb (pics)
I ordered these 7500K color temp GP Thunder bulbs, bought from eBay, and installed them just now. The results are pretty good! The rings match the Xenon headlights pretty well, although the corona rings are slightly dimmer than the stock bulbs (but not a lot).
I like 'em! What do you 1addicts think? Here's before and after pics: |

I like them and like the fact they are a little less bright and whiter, can you paste or PM me the auction you bought them from so I can see if they have more.

I just ordered the 7500k since I wouldn't want them any bluer than that.

It was simple. Look in your owner's manual on page 123.
Open hood, remove the inside headlight cover, replace bulb, put cover back on. The passenger side really stinks, with the oil cooler hoses in the way, but if you wrestle it, the cover will come off. Took 15 minutes to do both lights. |

No go on daytime pics, they forgot to pay the electricity bill, obviously, since it's dark out there.
I did take the far away pics for you, outside in the rain, with my clean car tho. :smile: |

i've read that the 8500s are nearly invisible during the day.
anyone think the difference between the 7500s and 8500s would affect daytime visibility significantly?
