Unhappy Aftermarket light doesn't fit in my 2010 is250

I bought day time and fog light for my is250 awd 2010 . None of the light fit. Even i tried the the aftermarket from the local body shop doesn't fit either. So i went to autozone to tried the bulbs they have and it does fit. But not the blue color i wanted.. Does anybody know where i can find aftermarket light bulb at 8000k blue or crystal clear LED to fit onto 2010 is ?

Fog light

daytime running light.

No Blue Coated halogen bulb will throw blue light, you want an LED bulb like this:

It's unlikely you will ever find a halogen bulb that will project bright white like leds and hids. Especially since 2010 is250 drls runs 50% brightness.

OK i finally figured it out for Lexus car . they needs the day time running light is 9006 and fog light is 9005 ... Not the stupid H 11 . those are the bulbs number to fit into your car.
Also question what is the tiny light next to the day time running light? one of mine died i wanted to replace to white color bulb not the ugly yellow stock one.
