GP Thunder 7500k v2 @14 volts review.

Install takes about 10-20 minutes depending on how small your hands are...follow DIY for changing angel eyes if you want to do this.

I bought the 7500k hoping to get a color match of the LCI brow after seeing that the 5800k looked exactly the same color as stock. Results turned out pretty well since i have my angel eyes at 14volts each. Pic comparisons are below because that's really all you guys want to see.

stock bulbs at stock voltage:



sun from the side


full on sun 100% brightest it will ever be outside


same as before, zoomed in



for 20 bucks I'm gonna leave it at that. it was these or the lux 5000k and i don't want to wait months + spend 250 bucks just to get a color match with my LCI brows.

they can't be beat for 16 bucks if you have a coder in your area to up your voltage. If these didn't look good I was going to go with OSS but these satisfy me for now.


Later today I will have pics of these GP thunders VS my roommates new DTEC 20 watt LEDs. I'm betting that mine show up better in the sunlight but we shall see.

What does it take to change the voltage? Won't the bulbs burn out a lot?

Looks great, I might look into that instead of the lux.

need to learn to code or find a local coder. bulbs will definitely burn out faster but not by much...might shorten life a few years on something that would last 15 years anyways
