which photo is which?

like to see some daylight pics $150 led's should of course be better than $12 gp thunders, but the GP thunders are better than both pairs of different brand LED's I have tried. The LUX Led's are great looking, but at $200 they should be, would be nice if yours looks like LUX for less money! Are they just bulbs or do they have an external power connection like the LUX units?

No way are the GP Thunders going to look like Lux during the day. I've had them both on my 335i, and the LUX blow the GP thunders out of the water as far as whiteness and brightness.

For a quick comparison,

look at the video found on this thread.

One side is the H8 Lux and I believe the other side is GP Thunders.

Notice when the headlights are on, the GP thunders don't even appear to be lit compared to the Lux side.
