Default fog light help!!

I just got a HYPER WHITE HALOGEN bulb from pep boys for my fog light (size 9006 )...but they still look like stock yellow fog lights....Anything wrong with it? Is it the bulb? Does the bulb gets whiter after some time or few days??? Or would u guys recommend any fog light bulbs that looks to match 6K or 8K HID color????

HIDs only way to go!!! Ill be getting mine soon, going to change OEM HID to 8k and 8k fogs to match.

I heard Silverstars Match but the life expentancy is short. or go yellow its the Lexus signature, others may think its rice

Lumics and Nokya have good light output and match well if you get 5k since stock hid is around 4300k i believe, so people claim, but get the same Wattage as the oem ones or you can risk melting your harnesses

HIDs are of course the coolest way to go, but are quite a bit more than some simple bulbs. I have had Lumincs 5150K 9006 bulbs and currently have MTEC 4350K 9006 bulbs now for my fogs because they match the stock 4300K HIDs better. If you want a specific color temp 9006 bulb try doing a search on ebay for it.
