Halogen HID? Do you mean you just have blue halogen bulbs? If so, yes, the color of an actual HID projected bulb is quite different indeed.

The 5000k LEDs are very white. Not much blue in them at all. Maybe a slight hint if any. They match the OEM Xenons quite well.

What temperature fog lights would you guys recommend to match the Xenons and 5000k LEDs? 6000k? Higher than that?

Like I said before, I already tried 5000K H7 bulbs and they were still kind of yellowish. Not white enough to match the 5000K LEDs parking lights. Probably going to go for 6000K H7 bulbs.

Anyone know if LED H7 bulbs would cause any errors?

That's what I thought, I must have received the wrong type of LED's. I ordered another set last night, hopefully these ones will be correct.
