The bulbs still may have been changed to whiter ones. There's a ton of stuff on this forum dealing with switching fog light bulbs to whiter ones.
Do a search using the term "PIAA" and you'll likely find a bunch of information...

I don't believe you get new fog light bulbs with the M Tech kit, just new fog light housing...I forgot. Even if you do get new bulbs, they are the same as the factory's so they are not whiter than stock. I believe the car in the picture belongs to Das or Lomag and I'm not sure if the bulbs were switched out for something whiter or it was just the picture.
A lot of people switch out the stock fog light bulbs to PIAA 4150K or 4700K bulbs to get the whiter shade. You can also convert them to real HIDs.

Hi Kuat,
HID stands for 'high-intensity discharge' or commonly called xenon headlights because of the xenon gas used in the lamps. I think PIAA is just a brand (?) somone please correct me if I am wrong
The brand of HID fogs bulbs on my E60 is from ProLumen.
Best regards.
