I would go with HID's. Regular bulbs have a lot of yellow compared to HID's. For the log lights, it is hard to match unless you get HID's there also. I would just buy some Silverstar Ultra's for fogs.

go with the HIDs for sure. They look ten times better and last a lot longer. For the fog lights to match you have to buy 2 HID conversion kits (low beams, fogs lights). Theres a guy on this forum with deals on HID conversion kits. www.visionbulbs.com

Go HID, they are brighter and allow you to see the road wayy better than a halogen ever can. If it is just color, well then that's up to you, but if you are looking to see the road better at night as well as have the blue, white or purple lights, I would definatly go HID. Stay away from the purple HID's as you can't see the road as well, the blues and whites are the best.

oem low beams are D1S. a tad on the expensive side, but worth it.

its hard to match projectors with fogs they are different lenses. go 4300K from vision bulbs for both if you want superwhite.
