No the Xenonmatch. I wanted to go with the OE wattage and was fearfull that the Titanium bulbs might burn up the harness.

Yep... They supply upgraded harnesses.. but probably best to stick with the original just in case...!!! I'll give them a go ...!

So i get the GP thunder 8500k today. I just installed them and um. Forget about it. haha They took awhile to ship because I guess they did not have any in stock. The build quality of this particular batch is horrible. I guess u get what you pay for. $12 per pair for GP Thunders vs $25 per pair of Mtecs. Either way, I give up on the angel eyes. HID fog lights are next. Wish me luck

Haha how much did u pay for them. I dont know what I'm going to do with all these lights. If someone wants to do a detailed write-up and comparison with photos and stuff, I'll donate them.
