I notice that some members signature say have GP Thunder 7500k bulbs for angel eyes. I thought only the e92 you can simply swap out the bulbs to give the angel eyes a WHITE look. This is what I found for the m5 http://www.bimmian.com/XHU/60
I am wondering why they are charging $149, when my friend with the e92 bought his angel eye bulbs for like $40
