You would need an H-4 type bulb rated @ 6500K per in order to get a close match.

If you are talking about matching the HID's blueish color pattern then it has been suggested that you look at PIAA H3 Super Plasma's. I just bought a pair from my local PIAA dealer for $55. I haven't installed them yet, but most people agree they look good. Go on the PIAA website and check their dealer locator. If you buy them locally then you have someone to b%&@h at if needed.

haha ok thanx for the advice guys...i'll look into it. can u post pictures after you install it? and should i wait for the fog lights to install the dde's because i think i read somewhere that it is easier to install the fog lights if you take out the hid's but i'm not sure.

The fogs are totally separate from the headlights. You reach the headlights from the engine bay and reach the fogs from under the front bumper. No worries though, just lay on your back, remove a few screws, pull back the plastic protection piece and you'll see the back of the fog assembly. Check the how-to's to get a full description and pictures.
