Default need bulb ideas for my fogs.... opinions?

I have the 2012 headlights going in and have no bulbs for my fogs at all. Im not a big fan of a "yellow" fog light. If possible, I think something near the factory headlight "color" would be great. Can I get some links to some? Opinions/pics are welcome.

So if you are going to have OEM HID bulbs then I would suggest checking out this link.

http://www.sylvania.com/en-us/produc...rstar-zxe.aspx

they are slightly yellowish white and match the OEM headlights perfect. They have that HID look.

I put them into my moms jetta and they look like real HID when they car is coming from 100 ft away. Our fog lights dont seem to give that look but will match perfectly for you. you can pick up them up for cheap on ebay around $35

if you are gonna get any aftermarket HID bulbs with higher than 4300 it would look more yellow

I have the phillips ultinon 6000k which have a slight blue hue.

Another alternative for the non-HID route is Philips Diamond Vision which is a 5000K halogen.

For HID, you may consider going projectors since the beam would scatter as a fog. I have HID fogs myself and will be putting in projectors soon.
