Default HID Fog Light - Question

On www.bimmian.com my friend ordered Xenesis tru-match H8 bulbs for his fog lights... they are advertised as a "perfect match" to the stock xenon headlights. Is there anything similar to this for the IS250? He has a E92 335i. Do both the IS250 and 335 use the same size bulb so could I possibly order this bulb as well?

Thanks.

The ISx50 uses a 9006 for the fogs.

NO, cause i bought a set of 5k to match my factory set up, and it was a bit off, more on the blueish side, even a aftermarlet 4300k might still be slightly off, depending on bulb.
