I got stuff on my bulbs so im looking to do a replacement. Recommend anything? Something like a 4000k look alike? Or a regular OEM type?

The OEM retrofits are around $900 whereas you can do an aftermarket HID upgrade to your fogs for about $300-$600, depending on brand. The problem with the aftermarket option is that, AFAIK, you'll get a burnt bulb warning. Soc_fans did the aftermarket HID upgrade to his fogs and he was able to get around the burnt bulb warning by turning on his fogs before he starts his engine.
Or you can avoid the high cost of real Xenons by buying xenon-look bulbs like PIAA. They make 4150K bulbs that will be the closest match to the factory xenon bulbs.

Is that cheap? The lens is dirty

Oh sorry. How about getting the M Tech Kit? It comes with new foglight assemblies. 
I have ACS front though
