USDM vs JDM foglights...which bulb?

I have HOEN bulbs for my USDM fogs. I just finished installing my JDM fogs and noticed that they're different. Within the lamp, the USDM has a cylinder type thing that surrounds the bulb while the JDM is just open. I hope I'm explaining it properly.
But anyways, I went with the HOEN bulbs because they match the headlights. However, since I have JDM fogs now, will the color output be different? If so, which bulbs do you recommend for the JDM fogs that will match the headlights?
Thanks.

I have the JDM headlights with the Hoens and they look hella good. I got nothing but compliments, people actually think they're HID's. Here is a link to my car when I first put on my Euro R with JDM fog's :

So, does the difference just affect the beam pattern?

which hoen bulbs did you get for your fogs? does the hoen bulbs work with oem fog light housing? i was thinking of getting a pair, but wasn't sure which ones to buy.

and not to hijack the thread, but anyone know about the high beams, whether the bulbs can be swapped out for a bulb that is more similar in color to the main HID's?

thanks!

The bulbs are the same for the JDM and USDM fogs which I believe are H11 foglight bulbs. I purchased the Hoens and I am very pleased with them.

I just double checked on Sylvania's website and they are indeed H11 foglight bulbs. http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm

H11 for the fogs and H1 for the high beam. If you want to change to whatever bulb you want, just make sure those are the right size...
