options for foglight bulbs

I wanted to check and see if I'm missing anything. For our foglights, we have 3 options:

1.) Standard halogens
2.) HID
3.) LED

I was thinking of going with LED and projector housings however it seems no one makes H1 bases with resistors built in. I've never been keen on installing aftermarket HID kits, and halogens just look terrible (unless you're overdriving the bulb and using a 55w PIAA/Hella bulb).

So what are you all using in your foglights?

Yeah, I already searched high and low for projector housings.

I think I'm going to go with the ones on the right in black (I have a black 208) and just go the whitest 35w halogen possible.

Let me know if you buy these. I would like to see pics once installed. I'm thinking about going with those as well. I think they would look real clean with 6000k in them...
