Which GP Thunder Bulbs match closest to LED DRL Angel Eyes?

Hey guys, I had my fogs on today with just my DRL's on and it looked awfull... I didn't want to go the Xenon fog upgrade or the LED fog upgrade route I saw here on the forum but wanted to do just a temporary bulb replacement, which GP Thunder Bulb matches the best? 5000k? 6000k? or 8000k? Thank you in advance.

GP Thunder's stuff is totally garbage. I had it before and lasted 7 months or so. The coating on the bulb already peeled off when I took the bulb out.

You may want to try Putco Nitro blue 6000K.

Click on the video and see the light color at the end of the video

Why dontyou want to go with HID upgrade?

It's bright and it's probably closer to the DRL than bulb replacements.
