Yup. just ordered mine.
...decided on the Nokya's. Upon further outside forum searching, they seemed to be the best option. Found quite a few side by side photos and the Nokya'a are definetly the most "yellow" compared to the HIDs. They also had better reviews. Some guys had Nokya's, went to 3000K HIDs, and went back to the Nokya's due to the look and the HIDs over glaring. One guy actually had 1 Nokya and 1 HID in left & right. The ground in front was the exact same but the color was different as stated above. The HID just reflected off things all over in the distance.
Anyway, most of reviews said for actual functionality and the most yellow, Nokya was the choice. HID's seemed to be more favored by people just looking for the brightest light, which again is not fogs intent.

CLARIFICATION PER THE MANUAL; 2010 - 2011
SEDAN FOG LIGHTS - H8 (35w)
COUPE FOG LIGHTS - H11 (55w)
This is regardless of sport/non-sport. I will also inform you that H8 & H11 bulbs are the exact same size/housing/etc. The ONLY difference is the wattage.
***CORRECTION - The H11 has one pin that is slightly larger. Conflicting information says some still fit, some manufacturers make the pins the same, etc.
...now the question is - do you think the coupe uses a different harness or housing? Or can we sedan guys get the H11 for a brighter fog?
***OBVIOUSLY - The actual connector is going to be a tad different due to the correction above, but question remains the same granted they fit with minor adjustment. Is the wire gauge different to support the H11's? Or are they the same and we can do it on the sedan?
