'07 TL Type S fog lamp question

New here fellas. Have any of you replaced the yellow fog lamps with a white lamp? I'd like them to match. You have part numbers?
Thanks,
Scott

Short answer to your question is yes. Lots of AZ members have changed both their fogs and/or headlights inclusive of HID, LED and simple color change.
What you wind up with is going to depend on your wallet and how handy you are. Do some searches here on AZ

I dont see the point in farting around with wiring harness and kits when you can buy LEDs that are plug n play and just as bright.
Im pretty happy with my LEDs. The bulb has a yellow opaque shield around the LED that gives it the yellowish tinge.Attachment 104903

i just replaced the stock halogen bulbs with the PIAA Extreme white bulbs....
still a halogen, but a lot less yellow than the originals. more crisp/clear.

I didn't want to do HID fogs, in fear of blinding oncoming traffic. Did that with my Lexus.

I did the same although not PIAA bulbs. Can't remember what brand off the top of my head, but they are a little brighter and closer in temp to the headlights.

I bought…but have yet to install, HID fog lights. In hindsight, high quality LED bulbs like the stuff VLED sells is probably the simpler/quicker fix. If you go the LED route, there is no need to worry about mounting ballasts.
