Default Fog Light Question?

I have a 07 F150 that I recently upgraded the bulbs in the headlights. My question is, are there any bulbs out there that are whiter and brighter for the fog lamps to match my headlights? Thanks for the help.

you can run 9005 headlight bulbs in the fog lamps, i did for 2 yrs with no issues, some guys have issues with melting though.

A bulb with a rating of 4400k is almost pure white. A 5000k rated bulb is about the same as an HID, just a hint of blue. Just get the same rated bulbs. If you just want to guess you can get sets of cheap Chinese bulbs for less than $10 on E-bay. I find that the cheap ones are fine for fog lights.

Just save up and get HID's. They are well worth it.
