Confirming bulb sizes and options before I buy
Hello fellas,
I just picked up an 08 4.8 x5 yesterday and planning my first round of mods. I want to deal with the amber headlights. I have a couple questions and looking for opinions and answers. Are the GP 8500 bulbs same color as a 8.5k HID bulb. I know sounds obvious but I wanted to confirm because I had 8k HID on my z06 and from pics I see online of the GP bulbs, they look very white compared to the obvious blue tint in my 8k HIDs. My plan is to swap out the AE bulbs to a h8 GP thunder 8500 bulb. I also want to swap out the fog light bulbs to an h11 GP thunder 8500 bulb. For the headlights will any H1 hid bulb work? I am thinking of a 6k-8k bulb but unsure if all I need to do is swap out the bulb using the factory ballasts. Lastly, I am not a fan of the amber bulb in the headlights. Anyone know what size bulb this is? Anyone have a picture of this swapped out for a white look? I am only doing this to change the color. I am not concerned with brightness or visibility. Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. |

Great question... i was thinking about doing all the same on mine as this is one of the first/easy/least expensive mods.
I'll probably end up ordering the GP 8500's anyway, with the matching fog lights. I'll wait for a few responses before ordering the corners... i'm thinking LED's. Amy suggestions on those? |
