folks,

forgive me for this but will GP thunders sort out the angel eyes in my LCI Halogen E60 and if not; what is the best way forward ?

End of month approaches and I will have some itchy $$$ to put in the direction of some mean lights .

Erick from Elite will be sending out the HID 6000K Dips and Fogs so all I need for that mean sonofabitch look is some decent white looking angel eyes to match.

BTW, Erick will get in touch with you next week to get the ball rolling on HIDs, Ta

I believe for non xenon lights GP thunder H8's will not work. If you have xenon lights you are good to go. I not sure what alternatives are out there for non xenon lights, hopefully members will chime in. GL,

I am in the same boat. For those with Halogen lights the angel eye bulb is a H10W type. Erick is working on a LED solution and I am waiting for him to come back to me on it as he was trying it out on an LCI.

I too will be fitting 6000k HIDs from Erick once stock arrives. I haven't bothered with fogs as I rarely have them on.

Regards,

Ta for your input.......


Erick has been in touch and I'm hopeful we will get the matching look we deserve

Think I will do the fogs though as roads to home place are sh%te but current halogens are like church candles rather than modern headlamps on a prestige car
