replacement foglight bulbs on 06 Coupe

Hey I couldn't find anything written on this, and I know this question has been asked alot, but I want to know what people have used to replace the amber halogen colr that the stock foglights emit.

Alot of people say the PIAA Extremem White, which emits a color temp of 4000K, and I have seen some people post the the PIAA Extremem Force are a better fit because the emit light at 4700K, but has anyone used the PIAA Super Whites that emit in a color range of 4300K?

If I don't go with the Super Whites which seem like the best option since they are the closest in color range to stock projectors, although I do not know about Lumens emitted which I would like to find, which color temp should I go for? Should I err 300K below stock or 400 above? What do you guys think?

Friend of mine put in Luminics 6000K Pure Blue H1 bulbs and they match the stock projectors very very well, and they're half the price of PIAA's

Yup, I went with the Luminics 6000K H1 fogs. About 45 bucks from e-autoworks.com and theyre almost a perfect match to the stock projectors. Light output is good too, nothing to complain about. I thought the 6000K would be really blue but its a nice white color
