replacement bulbs for the fog lights. led or not

i was tossing around a few options on what to do about the fog lights. i was almost thinking of keeping it the stock bulb but i think i might test a few options out.

i'm assuming doing a direct replacement of the H7 bulb with a super white bulb should work fine without any errors. but there were options of 55w and 100w in 6500k. my question is, will the different wattage bulbs shine a different color? and will the 100w even be safe in the fog light assembly?

also, there are some H7 led lights also. and if they happen to work as a direct replacement without throwing codes, will keep them on be ok?

i have very little knowledge when it comes to LEDs except that the LED uses less power i think... but when it comes down to heat/temp, will it be a lot cooler than a regular bulb even though it shines brighter?

Seems to be, but I'm sure it's a pretty penny

There must be a way to find the fog light housing as I had seen them on a chrysler 300M except it had 7 LEDs). let me find the pic
Who will have the time to look on the web for it?
