I converted mine to real HID xenon foglights. I got the entire kit from CarLab for $280. I had upgraded my stock xenon bulbs to 6000K so my foglight xenon conversion is also 6000K.
The factory bulb is 9006 which I think is equivalent to an H4 bulb (not sure). A few people on this forum have simply purchased PIAA Xtreme White bulbs in either 4150K, 4300K or 4700K to closely match their stock xenon light shade. The PIAA bulbs are xenon-look and a lot cheaper at about $50-$75 but nothing comes close to real HIDs.
Here's a pic of my set up:

Any fault lights appear after the upgrade?

If you're just going for LOOKS, then just get the normal bulbs that look like xenons. But if you want it to illuminate the road for better view at the same time have a better look than halogen, get real xenons.
