Default Whats the best Halogen Fog bulb thats closest to HID color

I want my Fogs to look more like my HID head lamps but not really sure I want to do an HID fog conversion (not yet anyway).

So who makes a plug and play halogen replacement that looks closest to factory HID's?

Sylvaina?
Luminics?

Thanks in advance!

I used those blue-tinted GPThunder bulbs when I first got the car. They looked super close to HIDs at 4000k is my guess. It cost $15 on eBay and come in either 7500k or 8500k. I got the 7500k but it's really 4000k. Right now, I have HID fogs but switching them out to LEDs soon since I installed halos in my fogs and don't want too much heat inside or they'll melt.

since your gonna go in there anyways. might as well do hid. that's what i did. went from ijdmtoy yellow bulbs to hid 3000k hid. way times 10 better. the kits are like twice price of the bulbs and last just as long. save yourself time and money and go hid. imo. there are threads on this. goodluck

If you're looking for just a better color match to the HIDs,VLEDS sells a 5K 28 LED bulb set that matches very well.I went with that choice.
