I recently posted pics of my GP Thunder AE and fog install. After a few PM's with member polepostion he finally convinced me to also change my cornerng lights/turning lamps to H3 GP Thunder Xenon/Plasma Super White 8500K Quartz Bulbs w/Ion Coating Standard Wattage. Ordered from hid-lights.com, cost me ~$18 with shipping. Ordered Thursday, received Saturday. Install took all of 2 minutes. My only suggestion would be to use a pair of needle nose pliers (wrap the tips with electrical tape as to no scratch up the base of the bulb) to get the bulb in and out of the small socket, or if you have small fingers have at it. Refer to page 237 of the owners manual to change.
