Can anyone knows what type of bulbs is inside of the fog lights?
I want to change them because the stock bulbs light is yellow and I don't like the look of my car with xenon and that yellow light under those beautiful eyes.

Please advice! :'(

I don't know what kind of bulbs i'm gonna use because I don't the type of these bulbs.
After I know the type I will go and find out what can I buy from Romanian shops.

I belive the fog lights are yellowish for a reason. The yellow wave length cuts through the murk better than blue(but I could be wrong).
