Hi all,
I just got the GP Thunder 8500k and they are less bright than stock, even though the color is amazing. Is this expected?Thers's nothing out that is as bright as the audi. I don't know why everybody waste their money on them.They would b better off just going to your auto parts store and spending 30 dollars on a set of bulbs.
