Anybody Replace Bulbs Yet? Fog, corner illuminating?

Has anybody replaced any light bulbs in our new F10s?

The factory HID lights with our "white" angel eyes make the other bulbs(fog, corner illuminating) even more yellow. What temperature bulb do you guys think matches best with the factory HID?

btw, I saw in the F10 digital U.S. Manual that the bulbs are as follows.

Front Fog: 35W H8
Corner Illuminating: 55W H7 <--- This is the light that comes on when the steering is turned at low speeds, right?

Thanks ahead for the input.

btw, I don't want or need the illumination of the stock lower-temp bulbs. The factory HID is plenty bright for that. Just want it to match the stock HID and angel eyes.

Thanks.

You likely need 5000k or 6000k bulbs to match the factory angel eyes.
