8500K Angel eyes w. pic

What do you think? I changed the bulbs for the angel eyes to GP Thunder lamps. I think I'm pretty happy with the result. They look very white compared to the stock ones. I'll post some outdoor shots later on.

To me they are as bright, just whiter. Here are some outdoor shots. They also suits the LEDs in the handles.

I like them.

I think that you need to turn on your xenons to look at (if any) differences.

From what I can see, they look good. Where did you buy them from? Cost?

As with any newer BMW with angel eyes; the inner ring is a little bit brighter than the outer for some reason.

The cost was nothing, I think around $30.

the indoor shot makes them look very purple but the outdoor shots look wicked... could you take some more shots at night?

Nice, did you change the center bulbs too if so what bulbs did you change them to? Or does changing the rings change the center bulbs too?
