I just got the GP Thunders 8500K. I did the left side, no problem, and it looks great! However, right hand side is a problem - I can not get my hand behind the fog light - it's way too tight (I followed the directions given in the DIY section).
How did you all change out your bulbs, in particular on the right hand side?? thanks

It's a tight fit and you have to wiggle your hand a bit to get there. I guess you did remove the silver trim piece as per the DIY?

It seemed to me the H11 GP Thunders 8500K are not as bright as the OEM fogs and had a more blue hint than the H8. The angel eyes H8 GP Thunder 8500k were beautiful...

BTW, if you change your angel eyes, make sure you don't leave the black headlamp access cover on the engine, I managed to knock mine down the engine compartment into the sump protector tray. 10 min changing the lights +30 minutes trying to retrieve the cover
