Best NON-HID bulbs to match the OEM projector?

I'm hoping to upgrade my city light 198/162 wedge bulbs and my H1 foglight bulbs to something a little bit less yellow. I do not want to change my OEM projector (I think 6000K reduces visibility too much in rain/fog), and I do not want to upgrade my foglight to HID. And every LED I install in the city light starts to flicker after a few months.

So does anyone manufacture a 198/162 wedge bulb (non-LED) and an H1 foglight bulb with a pure white color? Hopefully there's something in the 5000K range, but I haven't found anything yet. I'm not looking for any hint of blue or yellow, just a nice pure crisp white. Any suggestions?!?

I used the Polarg B1 Hybrid Superwhite 194 bulbs for the city lights and they match the OEM projectors pretty well.

This is not my car, but it is the post that convinced me to get these. I think the before and after pics are on the second page in a post by Motor25

If that link doesn't work it's in a thread called "Who has changed their Parking/City Lights?"

PIAA Xtreme White are really good for the 194 wedge bulbs, about $10/pr. The bulbs themselves look blue buy they illuminate white. I'm sure PIAA has a comparable H1 but I chose 2500K yellow fogs from them so I didn't look for an Xtreme White in that one.
