my first mod on CSM: angel eyes, shadowline grill, and rear fog lights!

just wanted to share some pictures with you guys. the lighting is a little bad so i'll take some more tomorrow. in the mean time, enjoy!

GP Thunder 7500k, shadowline grills, and rear fog lights (euro switch) all from Gravity Autosports... Drew was great! my mechanic took around 35 minutes to install everything! i got the aluminum pedals but debating if i should put it on... don't want to drill holes in my car... at least not yet... :biggrin:

WOW! That looks pretty nice. I don't see the rear fog lights, am I missing something?

I love the pure white color of the angle eyes. So how do the angel eyes illuminate? Just a bulb replacement? I thought they were like neon lights? I don't know.

they are H8 bulbs you can replace. looks just like any other bulb. if u want to see how it looks like, u can look in the manual or this link. i got my stuff from Gravity sports and Drew was very helpful with everything!

Looks good kbimmer. While still waiting for my car to ship I'm contemplating a few basic mod's. With that in mind, what's the point, purpose, or difference with the GP Thunders as compared to stock? I don't want to follow the herd unless I know where the herd is going. I know there are other threads out there on this but I'm looking for your reasoning. I'm interested in how the female mind works. :iono:

Nice mods and looking good... How are the GP thunder 7500. They look pretty white.. which is what I am looking for.. I hear there is a hint of blue, is that what you see? Are they pretty close to the factory Xenon?

I like the GP thunder 7500k. they're more "white" than the 8500k. the 8500k has a tint of blue in it (which i don't want so i went with the 7500k) i actually don't see hint of blue at all... if so, it's probably so little that i can't tell.

when i don't have the xenon on, it looks white but when i have the xenon on, the angel eyes is not as white as the xenon. i think i have a picture of my headlights on... somewhere. i'll post it up.

HMMM, easyman says you can't really see them in the day? Are the 8500's going to be better for daytime?

Awesome mod. I can't stand any yellow look, YUK.
