Just installed V2's...V2 8500K is definitely more blue than V1 8500K in the AE's...
for AE's I'm going to stick to V1 8500K (still have an extra set)
if you are set on purchasing V2's consider a lower temp, 7500K perhaps if you want closer to white/less blue...
can't really capture the difference via camera (i tried), that's why I didn't post any comparison pics V1 vs. V2

^it's enough to notice, trust me....I've had my fair share of testing different bulbs for LCI AE's...
I am wondering how V2 7500K will look

I have a set of V1 and V2 GP Thunder 8500K H8 bulbs which I ordered a month or so ago and ran for a few days (V2.) The V1's weren't in for more than 5 minutes as I bought them to do as side-by-side comparison, but opted for the V2. I'm now back to stock due to a reoccurring lowbeam malfunction, and I don't want to risk voiding my warranty with aftermarket bulbs. I'll let either set go for $10 plus shipping, or $15 plus shipping for V1 and V2.

Really that's odd ...but wait the GP Thunder H8 is parking light while the Bi-Xenon is the low-beam ... unrelated problem maybe?

Let me rephrase. I'm not blaming the GP's for the lowbeam malfunction. I ran the same style bulbs on my 550i for the better part of a year with zero issues. I simply don't want to risk voiding my warranty by running any aftermarket bulbs in a vehicle that has shown to be prone to headlight malfunctions (twice in 9 months.)
