Question Fog lights BULB replacement

Hello all,
After researching for the best fog light BULBS, I have purchased a very very similar color hallogen-xenomacth (IF NOT THE SAME) to my OEM HID for the fog lights for my GT 2011.

I would like to know if any of you have ever changed the BULBS for the 2011 GT. if so, could you please assist with some instructions on how to get to the bulbs, if there is any particular way I should do it.

Thanks everyone,
Stay safe.

I love that word, "best". Best what? What are you trying to accomplish?

Best for functionality in dark, crappy weather? If so, then 2500K-3000K is "best".
Best for pissing off folks looking in their rear view mirrors or oncoming traffic?
Best for longevity? Price?

As far as getting to the '05 thru 09's, it's a matter of detaching enough of the upper grill support to get your hand back there. I can't speak for the later years.

I've changed out the foglight bulbs on my 2010 and all I needed to do was remove the radiator/grille cover to expose the back of the grille. Only needed to remove about 6 plastic pins with a screwdriver (gently so they won't break) and the whole thing lifts off. It was bit tight but I was able to turn and remove the bulbs for replacement, enough slack in the wiring to disconnect and connect when bulb was removed. Relatively simple to do.

Thanks guys,
It sounds easy enough.
Will post a picture (lights on) when it's done.

The word best is for the looks only, in this case, the one I got is thehe xenonmatch line, a true 4,000k bright white lamp, which matches the white color from the OEM HID.
