So few H13's...anyone tried these?

I fall under (like a lot of you) the category who have placed silverstars in the fogs and impatiently waits for H13s for the headlamps.

There are lots of opinions on different alternatives, but I was wondering if anyone here has tried these GP Thunder 7500k or 8500k bulbs?

http://www.globalpremier.com/gpthunder.htm

They appear cheap to try irregardless but a users opinion is what I was hoping for.

I also see a thread below where a user referred to Hoen bulbs, yet another to possibly try.

Thanks,
trippn

Strickly based on the temp of the bulb, they are going to look like a purple'ish blue color on the road, and straight on.

The Hoen bulbs are 4,000 K range, and they are slightly bule in color :


This brand actually seemed to do worse for light pattern :

You can see where the stock bulb is playing makeup on the light pattern under the Hoen H13 bulb.

Long story, longer...might be cheaper, but more then not it is not going to be worth it.

What kit did you use and where did you get it and how much did it cost. And most importantly, how much of a pain in the *** was it to install?
