Daytime Angel Eyes: Stock vs Thunders pics

Hey guys. I recieved my 8500K GP Thunders from E92-lighting.com yesterday, and thought I would post some daytime pics to show how them compare to stock DRLs.

Overall, you notice a little less intensity/brightness, which is made up for in a more clear color. Stock is on the driver's side.

idk man...they kinda look *almost* like the stock in color. Is the difference more noticeable in person? especially being the 8500K i would think the color difference would be quite noticeable. I currently have the EFXs...but (as has been discussed numerous times in other threads) tho they look very niiiice (or atleast i think so..check out sig pic), ive got codes and i dont think i can handle it anymore! E92-lighting, where would a greater diff be more apparent vs stock..gp 6000K or 8500K ?

They are noticably different in person. They are white, rather than yellowish. Until there is a LED that doesn't throw a code, these are my solutions, and they are cheap. I am not ready to give up my adaptive headlights for an LED bulb. I would love some feedback on the other LEDs, the RDs. I wonder if they throw codes?

I have the EFX and I don't have a code However I did notice that the rings aren't very bright in day light. I think I'm going to upgrade to these when they are available http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=276837
