Just another EFX Halo install..

Bowzyr · 05-17-2009, 10:28 PM

They are definitely brighter and whiter than the GP Thunder bulbs i had before.

Will update with some good night pics later.

Very nice.. If I didn't pay so much for my RD's I'd get these... good stuff..

Bowzyr and twinturbo135i,
could you guys post your part number for us? I have a feeling that one of you got the "blue" and the other the "white" even though you both supposedly bough the same thing..... there is no way the camera would make them look so different, and I bet you guys $0.25 that you got different part numbers!

actually its the same, twinturbo probably boosted his contrast making them seem bluer than they really are. judging by the deep yellow and red and his pics I can almost be certain that he did. It surprised me when I saw his pic too.

perhaps, but I still want confirmation on the parts number....best way of insuring the facts, rather than speculate on camera settings.

my halos normally look white like they're suppose to. the picture shown does make them look blue but trust me, they are white....

Agreed, it feels as tho both the contrast and saturation are both higher in twinturbo's pic.

The box it came in didn't have a part # or anything.. just a plain black box.. order form just said white.

I like them a lot.

Was it easy to install?

M2BMW · 05-23-2009, 11:17 PM

I saw these installed on a 1, noticed that the lights flicker/strobes right after the car is started with the lights off...... I'll see what happens after I do my install.....
