Default 2008 GS350 Foglights

I was wondering if anyone can help me on this? Which is the best fog light bulb replacement to match the headlight color (white)? or is there a super bright yellow that's brighter than the stock (faded yellow)? Can i just change the bulb or do i have to do a conversion to a HID?

George

If you want to match your headlights, I'd suggest you convert your fogs to HID's. Everything else just wont look as good.
