Hey guys,

Still trying to figure out the best upgrade to my LCI Ae's.

I've had the 35w GP Thunders, and the 6w LEDs. The 6w led's are awesome at night, suck during the day. The GP's make the inner rings bright, but still leave a bit to be desired for the outer ring.

I noticed Hella makes an h8 "Optilux" bulb, in 55w. Do you think I'm asking for trouble running them?

I really don't want to do HID, as to me it seems to just be overkill... Washed out neon sign in front of the car. I want more "natural" looking AE's.

Thanks in advance,

George

Do your search man. I like how we have a flux of new members recently, but to really learn more about the car (part of the fun) is to look up stuff on your own.

A 55w bulb will melt the lens for your cornering light. Do not use.

Doyour search here and you will find the answer tht suits your skill and pocket book and desire. The "NEW" GP Thunders 8500 are pretty good and cheap. Budy of mine has them and they look good in daylight as well.

but everyone has their own taste.... Check out the link below!

Good luck
