I prefered the Hoen Titanium bulb for the fog light since I already had PIAA Extreme White bulbs for the low beam. The Titanium bulb isn't quite as blue as the Extreme White but is very close and the light output is much greater than the OEM bulb.

consumer reports...
not sure if anyoen read the recent article in consumer reports - their testing found that most of these HID like lights while they look bluer/whiter, don't outperform the OEM halogens on the car...

Xenonmatch Plus will have the same tinge, except the bulb is rated at 80 watts, as opposed to the Xenonmatch with a rating of 55 watts. Running a higher wattage bulb will provide more light, but they have a tendency to melt your wiring harness. It melted mine on my truck.

I put a set of Xenonmatch in my gf's Accord. I personally think they're much brighter than the stock, giving you better visibility at night plus they look so much like HID if you're facing towards the car. Looks a lot better than the yellowish oem lights.
