Anyone change out the front two turning bulbs? Lux owners?

whostorm05 · 07-04-2013, 01:06 PM

So now that my angel eyes are white thanks to lux, it makes the yellowish tint of the turning lights not look the best when it's on. Has anyone replaced the h3 bulb with a higher color temperature? I saw some h3 bulbs on ebay that have a blue coating on them, I have a hard time to believe those would look white and not have a blueish tint.

Anyone swap theirs out?

No one has tried this before?

I'm curious also

The bulbs are cheap enough, I just might go ahead and buy some and try it out. It seems a lot of the bulbs which 'say' they are 6500k are actually 5000k though. Still would likely look better than the stock bulbs.

Buy some and post up pics! I'll look into the bulbs here shortly. Have you checked e90post?

I swapped mine with GP THUNDER 7500K H3 SUPERWHITE from www.e92lighting.com to better match my upgraded 6K xenon bulbs. They look pretty good for the money and don't clash with the xenons nearly as much as stock. http://www.e92-lighting.com/products...ITE-36-14.html

Here is a pic with my upgraded H3 cornering lights and LED turn signals.
LED blinkers purchased at modmy3.com Angel Eyes are LUX V3

Thanks SaviorXi. Is there a trick to get both cornering lights on at the same time?
