im pretty sure they arnt available in the UK, would of thought there would be a big enough market for them

i too got mine from HID Lights USA, the bulbs were a reasonable price, just made expensive with the shipping.

I run the 8500Ks ...they are very white compared to the standard ones which looked yellow in comparison, they are sooo much brighter too ( you carnt really tell from photos people take, but trust me they are )

Its really no trouble ordering them from the US and they came quickly, but it is better value to order a couple of sets as you pay the same shipping. If you order them with G33 you could split the shipping?

Not heard of those, are they the best around? Better than the Philips X-Treme Power?

I don't think you can get the Philips in the required H8 fitting for the angel eyes. The GP Thunder are regarded as the best on the US forums on this site.

If you can be bothered to do a search I think Evolve put up a thread about supplying them in the UK.
