Sorry to be "that guy" man, but if you do a simple "Roadlamp" search, you'll find so much information that you will not have the time to read it all.

Search.

But to answer your question I put 6-LED amber bulbs in my parking lights and fog lights and they look the best I've seen on any CL, by far. They match 100%, and look OEM. You could also do a white 6-LED bulb that would match the HID's.

I'm assuming cltypeSLOW is joking, lol. A buddy of mine actually has a 5000K HID conversion kit in his foglights retrofitted on his TL and I really don't like how it looks. The foglight is housing is obviously not made for HID's, and there is so much glare it's ridiculous. Either way, don't leave the ugly stock wedge bulbs in there!

i hate the stock bulb so i went with this hid conversion. thing is, i have to agree with you, the glare can be pretty bad -- that said the light output is pretty good. regardless, don't go with a bulb on your fogs. it's just terrible.

oh and to follow up some more, if you went with a piaa, those bulbs are pretty good as well. just don't get a 100 watter.

I now have the yellow tint on my roadlamp, and i have the standard yellow bulb. It doesnt look very bright. Do you guys think it will look more yellowish if i change it to Piaa 19224?

I believe the TL's can handle the HID kits because there foglights actually have a glass lense. The CL has a plastic lense which just melts(lucky us)

Is there any bulbs that match with 8000K HID Bulbs? I have 8000K in my headlights and I want my roadlamps to match that.

I saw the PIAA 19224, but I wanted something with a little more blue in it.
