GP Thunder II? Did they come out with something new in the last year or so?

Do you mean the 80w instead of the 35w here? H8 by HID Lights USA

For those also interested in doing the fogs, I bought the 8500k H11 bulbs but to me they look a little more blue than the H8 coronas in 8500k. I bought a set of the H11 fogs in 7500k to compare hoping to get a little whiter light. I'll report back.

I did exactly this already... first had the 8500k and switched to 7500k... it still looks a bit blue when illuminated. The bulb is coated with blue so the fogs enclosure being just glass, it can't hide it too well. Still beats yellow in my opinion even if they aren't as effective.

Do the 7500k H11's look more white than the 8500k's?

very slightly... to anyone looking at the vehicle, it will still look blue-ish, still more than the coronas. If I had to do it over again I would've just kept the 8500k on and not bothered... but since you already ordered, go for it.
