Default Fog light - bulb upgrade?

To my recollection, I have never changed my fog lights since I bought my car in 2008. I was looking at the car from the front the other night and realize the difference in "color" the light emits from my headlights compared to the fog lights. The headlights are a much brighter white (I assume because they are Xenon if memory serves), whereas the fog lights are a bit more dull, maybe a slightly yellow hue. Anyone change the fog lights to be more like the Xenon look or LED look of the headlights? I'm thinking it would be a very inexpensive "update" to the way the car looks at night.

Also, anyone upgrade the under mirror lights to higher quality bulbs (when you unlock your car, the lights that turn on outside the vehicle)? May look at doing the same thing there. Thanks,

There are a number of LED 9006 bulbs on eBay that would work in that position. Seem to be in the $2-$36 dollar range...

And, yes there are LED upgrades to the puddle lamps as well. I think someone had a thread going on that subject. Do a search and see what you can find...
