Angel eye bulbs burned out e92

Hi, my 07 335 e92 angel eyes have burned out. I would not mind getting white bulbs, but don't want to spend a lot. Are the eBay LED solutions worth it? I see some for between 50-80?
Here is a sample. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LED-A...ht_4343wt_1019

If not, then am I better off getting stock H8 bulbs or aftermarket H8 bulbs that are white? Just worried they won't be noticeable during the day.

I have tried searching but can't get any good answers on what is good or not.

I would not take the risk of putting unknow led brand that can burn the car wiring.

Go for Lux or MTEC or stay stock, my opinion.

I think I agree, I have been doing more reading.
Are the gp thunder actually an upgrade over stock other than being white? I would get the 7500k color to have the whitest color. Otherwise I will just get stock bulbs.

The GP Thunders are ok, but not quite as bright as the LUX LEDs that I now have in my E92. Bulb-wise, PIAA makes some extreme-white/ultra white bulbs that work well, but on an '07, the halogen bulbs dim when the main headlights come on. The LUX LEDs compensate for that and stay the same. Any good Sylvania H8 bulb will do as long as it's the correct wattage. GP Thunders are about $25 shipped and look good, but I had one burn out within a year. LUX will run you ~$250 shipped, but they appear to be a well-engineered upgrade.

If you are looking to replace you angel eyes with a LED solution, then i would recommend the LUX H8 V3 angel eyes. do some research and you will find that most people will tell you not to waste your time with other products
