Default H3 Foglight Bulb Recommendations SC300

Im going to do a front end conversion on my SC and I figure I might as well upgrade my foglights while everything is apart. I am rocking an aftermarket 4100k HID kit with the stock projectors and I wanted some foglight bulbs to somewhat match the color of the HID's. I definately dont want anything that looks blue. I would either like something that shines white or something that matches the color of the yellow foglights on HID equipped GS. I read that there is an actual lens that gives it that yellow color is there any other alternatives for the SC? What bulbs are you guys running on your SC's?

Thanks,
John

not an SC, but on my 02 ES I ran PIAA Xtreme White H3 bulbs. They were much closer to the HID color than the stock and they were not at all blue.

I actually like the yellow fog light look, so I run the PIAA Ion Crystal H3 bulb. It is really cool and no glass replacement necessary.

Raybrig 5000k.
It's almost identical in color and hue to my 6000k HIDs. A little pricey though. around 70 bucks.
