Has anyone tried GP thunder 8500k H8 xenon white bulbs for angel eyes on the X5? Will it set off error codes with my 2011 x5? How does it compare with the LED ones? (I hope xenon ones will be more powerful?

I haven't tried them, but from what I've heard they're better and don't throw up codes. I ordered both, but haven't been home to try them out.

i have the gp thunders 8500k quartz installed on my 2011 x 35i. no error codes and they look good at night and during gloomy weather. Outer ring does not illuminate bright but inner ring looks great during day and night for the price it is acceptable. Less then $20 on ebay.

I have the RD LED that are still going strong with no error codes, but they are not very bright. I paid about $200 on a group buy here over a year ago.

I'm curious if there is a new product out there or if BMW has now started to put LED angel eyes on the 1 and 3 series. I've seen a LOT of those cars with what appears to my eyes to be LED, are very bright, and match the HID very well. If they are after market, it would appear that 1/3 series owners have figured it out. I'd be curious if anyone else has seen this, then we would just have to find out what they did and replicate it.

From what I read in other forums and research. The new 3 and 5 series have redesigned their angel eyes and r using white LEDs however it's because of the new design of the angel eyes that they look so bright and crisp during the day. All new x5 and 7 series owners got screwed in terms of the new design which seems crazy to all of us.
