Fog light options

Any options available [bulb wise] for the front fog lights?
Noticed mine in a reflection in a shop window this week and they do look odd compared to the bi xenons

Are there any options ?

I originally bought H8 GP thunders to whiten up the halo DRL rings befire I installed LED ones. Rather than let the GP thunders go waste I put them in the fogs and match the xenons very nicely

(PS and no I dont drive with my fogs on unless visibility is less than 100m)

I put some led bulbs in my fog lights matches the xenon really well. I will post the link I think I paid a £10.

I put a black tint over the foglights and you can still see the led when you turn them on. As I checked yesterday

They are yellowish in colour for a reason.
In dense thick fog, yellowish colour will travel far than 7.8 - 8K and would help your car to be visible.

Saw E46 on the other day with fog lights on (no fog/ not even ice). I though it was honda accord but turned out to be E46.

Good point just wished they looked a little better.
May just leave it and concentrate on sorting the hifi.
