Fog lights

What options are there for the 2008 G35xs the fogs are built into the lamps but I would like to have some like the 2013 G37s but I don't want to do the full facelift. Looking for some help.

Because the yellow spectrum will actually penetrate the water mist that creates fog. White light will reflect off the water mist which is really no use as a functioning "fog" light.
