Here's a quote in this thread. This is where I got my fogs.
I purchased a pair of H11 bulbs from http://www.lightingresearch.com/metal_white/h11w-55.htm
The bulbs are METAL WHITE H11 12V 55W (Sold as pairs)
Part#: H11W-55 $45.99
These bulbs match very well with the xenon headlamps and the 19169 running lamps.
The site I ordered from is also very responsive...I ordered the fog lamps last Friday and received them on Monday.

A note for UK owners:
I ordered PIAA plantinum white sidelight bulbs from demon Tweaks but part numbers are different to US
The bulbs are referenced PIA H-151/91
Price £8 plus postage for the pair
Ordered them yesterday. Got them today. Fitted in 5 monutes. Look great.
I didn't realise that in the inner light there was a high beam bulb - I have been a little confused up to now why those with Xenon's were upgrading high beam bulbs - Now I know they meant those on the inner lights.

The 169 bulb and the headlamps on 03Baby's car look yellow to me.. 
STK's pictures show more bluish-white for the 169 and the xenon lights... they look great...
Do PIAA make H11 bulbs? If so, has anyone tried them? Metal White bulbs look very nice, but I'd want to see how the PIAA bulbs are for the H11 (fog lights..)
Any pics, information would be great.

To me, the originals are not quite as bright and they have a little yellow cast. I don't see any yellow at all in my H11's. Can you post pics of what yours look like?

Here's where I got my 169's and they were the cheapest I could find. Now as to which H7 they carry is the best match, who knows. They say they both match;

I just installed my H11's Metal White (replacing the fog bulbs). Looks perfect. Matches the Headlights.
Now I need to replace the Middle lights (yellow).. Ordered them. Just need to order bulbs for the highbeams.... Which are those again???
Installing the fog bulbs took 4 minutes in total. So easy. Just reach up and twist 1/4 turn and you are ready to roll.
