I never had problems with funny fitments. All H8 bulbs should be designed similarly when it comes to the socket. Have you tried playing with it? I know that the 3 trapezoid-like figures on the socket needs to be inserted a certain way.

I had the Mtec bulbs, and the GP thunder bulbs are much brighter and attractive

GP thunder has interior lights? can't vouch for that, but for the angel eyes, stick with GP thunders.. although the difference over Mtec bulbs aren't that noticeable

My GP H8s fit well for fogs and angel eyes left and right side. Not anywhere as luminous as the OEMs, but look great from the observers point of view looking at the car. Wasnt aware the GP made any lighting for E9X interiors.

My GPs fit perfectly for fogs and angels. The passenger side angels are a little bit more difficult to install than the driver side from my experience.
