Daytime and fog lights need help?

Hey All,
I have xenon highlamps which look great. However, the daytime running lamps and the fog lights really take away from the xenon's. Has anyone been able to get all three lights to look similiar in color?

replace your bulbs with the following..

fog lights - HOEN (H11)
high beam - PIAA Extreme WHite Plus (H7)
city lights - PIAA PLatinum Super White (H-99E). I believe this is the 19169s
turn signals - Silver bulb. you can get these silver bulbs from any local parts store. this will eliminate the "egg yolk" effect as you can see now on your car.

you can also replace your yellow side markers to the clear lenses.

can you access the fog lights without removing the bumper cover?

Are the bulbs in the headlight assembly easy to replace?

Thanks Rod. The only question I have is the high beam recommendation. I have bi-xenon so I think I am all set with both low and high beams. When you reference city lights, I am assuming you mean the lights that are closer to the center grill. Thanks again.

John..

Here is everything you need and some pictures to go along with it. I believe this is the look you are wanting to get out of the lights..

Thanks John,
There are two types of Hoen H11 lights. Do you know if I should order the "Xenonmatch Factory Wattage" or the "All-weather (fog lamp only)"
