Before w/ fogs:


In between (new on left, old on right):


After:


After, at dawn:




After, with headlamps at dawn (notice the lower power AE because of headlamps, slight amber):


One other note - if you want a perfect match with the fogs & headlamps you definitely need to upgrade the HIDs as mentioned before. I still like this more than the amber fogs before though.

Looks cool rh71. Following are pictures of the resistor and my X with the GP Thunder Angel Eyes. You will have to remove the steel reflector plate before you install the resistor as the resistor cannot be installed with that plate there.

The GP Thunders look really cool but the intensity is a bit less than the originals I feel. Is it because the bulbs are essentially halogen but tinted? I haven't changed the fogs yet, may look into that as well.

Thanks to cmans for the resistor install idea, and field trial validation

PS: Ride is dirty due to rains and haven't cleaned it yet, didn't want the effort to go waste
