Once you get into the 6k range, you get into the blue spectrum. I went with 5500 which seem perfect and white with no blue hue. I and many others here at CL, have had excellent results with Morimoto bulbs from theretrofitsource.com.

The budget option is Morimoto. The high-end option is typically the OSRAM Xenarc CBI. They do cost anywhere from 2x - 3x the cost of a set of Morimoto's though which is pretty pricey (I believe over the years they've fallen in price though).

CBI is an acronym for Osram Cool Blue Intense (CBI) bulbs. Their claim to fame is 5000 color temp but with no lumen loss from the OEM 4100k bulbs. I have these bulbs and they're great, DrJekyl also has them and likes them a lot too.

Ahhh OSRAM....yes I'm very familiar with those, just not the acronym referred to (CBI). The Morimoto's I've installed for over two years now, have performed flawlessly. That is the consensus with others who use them. Obviously the Osram's also get great reviews. I'm a cheap SOB, so I went Morimoto. 5500K

I was concerned with not having any reduction in lumens, so far the CBIs seem to deliver on that.

Also, the fogs are halogen, unless you purchased an aftermarket HID/LED kit with a ballast included.
