Default My lights dont match up...

I have a 02 1is. My fogs are 6000k. And my low beams were also 6000k. The low beams looked white and the fogs were blueish. I wanted them to match. My friend said since my headlights weren't projectors the colors wouldn't match with my fogs which were projectors and i would need to buy 8000k bulbs if I wantthem to match but the 8000k bulbs still doesn't match up they look white. I'm not sure what's wrong. I'm currently using the stock ballast my is came with. Does anyone know what's wrong?

different companies go by different temperature charts. find a company that has like 10 different temperatures and see if you find one that is closer. im not even sure they will match due to the projector non projector situation
