Coating on GP 7500K

TiAg335i · 05-16-2008, 02:17 PM

What is this coating for? It's mostly out of curiosity..mine is silver, I heard most were blue.

And also while installing them in my angel eyes I lightly scratched the coating..will this effect performance?

Did you scratch both? If not and they look the same, you're fine.

Yeah both are scratched, but they look fine. I don't understand how you guys got those bulbs in there without scratching the paint off the tip a little. Any special technique?

BTW; the coating is soo soft it's almost like powdered on...that's how easily it gets scratched.

I just installed mine. What a PITA to install the fogs.

Fogs were a lot easier for me to install then the angel eyes. My hand just did not fit in that little hole.

gp thunders 7500k will give you a plasma-white color
