Get the 6k foglight bulbs but they are not going to look like true HIDs. I put real 6k HIDs on my stock housing in my headlights and put Nokya 6k fog bulbs and they both look completely different, HIDs being wayyyy better. The bulbs will not be blue, but a white.

That, yes. It's not as yellow as stocks lol. Wouldn't say a big difference but a much better difference. If your comparing stock bulbs vs hid fog bulbs then hid fogs takes the cake.
