Your 2008 angel eye's are brighter than any after market lighting. The new LCI headlights look great in the day, brighter in fact that any after market solution that I've seen.
As for the fog lights a simple HID upgrade can be done relatively cheap that will match your xenon headlights. Eurorev sells a kit pretty cheap.

but arent they still that off white color? is there any way i can make them pure white to match my fogs and lowbeams?
also, is an HID conversion just changing a bulb or does it require adding more hardware? and does that have the same effect as xenon?
thanks a lot!!

the most popular for aftermarket angel eyes are umnitza and AIBs. here's a recent thread about umnitza:http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=42043 . somewhere in that thread theres pictures of members' cars with aftermarket angel eyes, and one of them comparing past versions from both umnitza and AIB. for foglights +1 with busta. hope this helps.

the lci 2008 angel eyes are much much much more brighter than aftermarket! i don't think there is an aftermarket solution yet for the newer lci headlights; it use different technology and design.

For the Angel Eyes... get the Angelibright's, I love mine!!!! I got the blue but you can get ANY color you want... which is really nice. I get a TON of looks on my car when they are on.
Do you have any pictures of the blue?
