Headlight bulbs and Fog Light bulbs

Anyone have any suggestions on replacing the stock headlight and fog light bulbs with aftermarkets?

I've been told to get Nokya H8 Artic White for the fogs b/c it matches well with the HIDs perfectly, but what about the headlights???

For my headlights I did the McCollough 6000k D2S bulbs.
For the fog lights I did the McCollough 6000k 9006 HID kit.

I posted a quick clip about the headlights. Just search for it.

Does anyone know if the 921 9LED bulbs fit for the license plate lights, or if they're only for the reverse lights?

The 6000K measurement relates to the color of the light, not intensity. Stock bulbs are 4300K which disperse more light than the 6000K lamps. Going from 4300 to a higher K value is usually a downgrade, but some like the color rather than the lumen value.

OK, but I did some research seems like there is some major work needed to be done hooking up the wiring harnesses and all, but there aren't any simple 'plug n play' bulbs??? I have the '07 type-S so it's not like I need a whole conversion kit or anything....

the regular 9006 plug and play bulbs for the fogs take like 10 minutes to hook up, dunno about the headlights though. my nokya 9006 fogs are pretty bright and fit well and are priced cheap.
