Default Fog light decisions, opinions?

Hey guys, finally got my fog lights working after the little issue i was having and now I'm going to replace the stock bulbs with some others.

Im looking for a good bulb that will match my 6000k headlights and my 7000k high beams.
What is the best brands you guys can think of? I recently just bought some nokya 7000k 9006, but those refused to fit in like the stock ones, so i had to return them!
Any help would be tremendous! Pictures would be fantastic too!!!!
Thanks club lexus!

if you have your high beams on it wont matter if they match because the fogs turn off when the high beams are on.....

Honestly I just did 3k HIDs in my fogs. Nice yellow output(if thats something you like from the days of the IS300)

im looking for a higher output, i prevoulsy had a set of luminics jdm yellow, liked it, but want the new lfogs to match my 6000k headlights. I just dont know what brand to get, looking for reliability and most importantly compatibility.

Thanks!

better keep the stock one or buy SYLVANIA bulbs if u just wanna replace the stock one, i used to have aftermarket light bulb on my fog light, it burned out my light bulb plug (plastic melted), costs me 40 to get it fixed

you can try on xenon depot, they have some good quality bulbs/kits. do you just want different halogen fog bulbs or an HID kit for your fogs?

honestly if the money is going to be spent i would just do a HID kit for your fogs. the stock halogen bulbs in there are a waste in all honesty for what youre paying for

that wont effect your warranty... if you just want a brighter halogen bulb then all i can really think of is sylvannia really.
