Clarification on headlamps 2013

Who can give suggestions on easiest bulb switchs so that all the lights match in color to the main low beams?. In other words I want a relatively cheap way to make all the lights match with a crisp white light. Also what the hell are the names of all these lights on the front of our cars? Tia.

You'll want to get 5K bulbs for your city lights (the upper amber lights above each projector), and I would recommend getting 5K switchbacks for your parking lights/turn signals. The switchback bulb remains white until you activate a turn signal, in which case it lights up amber for every turn signal flash.

I like Diode Dynamics. Your OEM fog light bulbs are not HID, so they will not really be able to come in a kelvin temperature (5K). If you want your fogs to match your regular headlamps perfectly, you will need an HID kit, and the correct bulbs to make it all match.
