As long as you stick to 35W then no.

So my next question is what is more beneficial. 55w halogen(GPthunder) VS 35w HID ?

35W HID by far

Cool! Do you have any suggestions on what HID brand to pair up with these headlights?

I'm thinking of getting the GP THUNDER for high beam and fogs

I'm excited to put these on my car!

Btw really considering using GP THunder for high/low and fogs. Can someone confirm the sizes I need?

Thanks in advance

H7 for low/high
H8 for fogs

I'm trying out the gpthunder 8500k

Go to page 30 and look at all of the pictures I compiled. Teefar I believe was running a xenon depot HID kit that looks good but if you go back in the thread you'll see he had to get a different mounting plate or end plate (not sure what to call it)

MONSTAR · 12-14-2016, 11:12 AM

I'm excited. Paid for my set last night! They're only two cities away so I'm hoping they come in before the weekend 😎

Hack14 · 12-14-2016, 11:13 AM

Alright, so I just spoke to USR on the phone and confirmed that today's batch of lights will have the new Series 3 modules and that we shouldn't run into any issues with them shutting off and having to be reset. Fingers crossed.

Unfortunately, he said it was too late to reserve a set over the phone since they'll be going live in a little less than an hour on their website. However, as long as people don't wait until later on in the day they shouldn't have a problem getting one.

Basically, unless he's wildly underestimated the market, which I suppose could definitely be a possibility, anyone who doesn't already have a set pre-ordered should have no problem logging on and grabbing one so long as they do it early in the day today.

I'll give another update once I (hopefully) order mine in a bit.

It was your posts that convinced me to get one, I was also on the fence about these but all your researched helped a lot!!

Maybe I'll just go with the H7 for now don't really wanna have to make a mount/bracket for HID the GP thunders look bright anyway! I'm stoked hopefully I get the 2 day CA delivery also so I can install this weekend!

Hack14 · 12-14-2016, 11:23 AM

Since I'll be waiting much longer to receive them (hopefully) and install them, you guys will have to be sure to document any snags or special tricks you used to make things a bit easier for the rest of us! The YouTube videos I've referenced so far leave much to be desired when it comes to the actual headlight housing removal and installation.

Honestly, taking off the front bumper looks to be a cakewalk.

All you need to fit the HIDs is a set of hid bulb holders

Just wondering, has anybody who ordered today gotten a shipment notification or tracking number yet?
