The first 3 work easily, the last 2 not as much.
Though the Predator ICE is much much easier than the Orion V2.

Will likely have some this week, sorry, it's been a bit of a zoo.

Got the Gp Thunder 7500k bulbs last week and finally had time to put them in. The color in person is bright white with a slight hint of blue. In hindsight, I should've gotten the 8500k for more color, but I'm happy with the 7500k. All of the pictures have the thunder's in them, but the one's taken in the garage are much bluer than in person, and the one's taken outside are much yellower than in person. The real color is between the two. If you have an LCI, this should be a no brainer. Changing the bulbs took all of 2 minutes.

Haha, nice. It is funny how it's yellow in some pics and blue in others.

Quick update. I've had the bulbs in the car for about a week and this morning, I got a bulb out warning. The halos in one headlight wouldn't turn on for the running lights. I assumed it was a burned out bulb and ordered another set, but after letting the car sit for a bit, i came back to turn it on and they work again. Any ideas? Could it be the wiring or a loose connection?

Halogen bulbs, especially aftermarket ones are notorious for failing due to bad filaments that go in and out of contact.

Just wanted to ask y'all since I was checking the bulb today, is this normal? Should I use some black tape and wrap the wires to prevent a short?

Ahh, them brittle wires. It's probably melting, breaking away as you touch it? It's the sun out there in Texas man.

When I did a fellow member's headlights from Texas, his was in the same shape. I would definitely say to wrap that up someway or use heat shrink to protect it. It's the heat I tell you.

I installed the HID AE kit from Motorcepts along with the complete LED interor light swap out kit and upgraded low beam bulbs and LOVE everything...HID AE install was a little tricky but was well worth it..

BTW, my wires looked the same as above..I wrapped tape around them the best I could..
