V6 Pony fog lights

I have a 2013 V6 with the Pony package and compared to the white light produced by the HID headlights and the LED running lights the fog lights look yellowish by comparison. Does anyone know of a replacement bulb which would create a whiter light? Another option I was considering would be to cover it with a amber lens to make it look like a turn signal from the 60's.

LED bulbs would do it, but you can also find halogens on ebay or even in your local parts store.

I think Diode Dynamics might have something that could work

Just in case you didn't know, they make the fogs yellow on purpose. :-)

If they were yellow I would be fine with it but it is more of a weak white compared to the headlights. Thanks for the links Cavero and Siber. That's exactly what I am looking for. I'm going to be ordering some new light bulbs!

I put yellow tint on my fogs (GT, with LED fog lights standard) before I signed the paperwork. I always put Lamin-X on my cars. I've since switched to amber, as I didn't do a great job on one of the fogs, and it always bugged me. I was rushing lol. I had a sheet of amber laying around. Check my posts, I posted it last week.

Still, I would get LED bulbs for the fogs. You can drop them in, without having to worry about ballasts for an HID kit. I prefer the contrast, but some people like to match all their lights. I actually love the color that the white LEDs produce through the amber tint - it's more of a gold color. I liked it so much that last night I created a new MyColor color for my halos to match (I believe it was 5,2,1 but I'll check today and let you know).

I've been thinking about it and I can honestly say, your mustang is the only one that I've seen that has that. Makes it unique! I like it.
