Foglights: H7 to HB4/9006
I bought a pair of 9006/HB4 PIAA bulbs from a member here a month ago, and they are not the color that I want (I want white/bluish, but they are just a bit whiter than stock). I also bought a pair of PIAA H7 Xtreme White Plus bulbs from another member here at about the same time.
Is there any way that I can convert the H7 bulbs to fit the 9006 (fog lights) housing? I did a search here and most members simply bought the 9006 bulbs instead, so this conversion wasn't required. I also did a search online and seems like there are stores that sell 9006 and H7 sockets. Can I simply buy two male 9006 sockets, then have wires running from them to two female H7 sockets, where I can plug the H7 bulbs to? Or may be I should just sell my H7 bulbs and buy a pair of 9006 bulbs instead? I saw some Nokya 9006 bulbs, but they require at least 55w (the same as the H7 I have by the way). The manual says the HB4's are 51w, is that going to cause overheating?
Also, I'm not looking into HID conversion as that's going to be too complicated for me, and I don't want to cut any wires, that's why I'm thinking about getting two male 9006 sockets which I can plug into the foglight housings.
Thanks in advance.

hmm 110 eh? That's way over my budget...the only problem I have is that I don't really like the color of the stock fog lights. And now I have these good quality H7's sitting in my garage, so I was thinking if there's any way to get them to work as my fog lights.
