Thanks for the help!
I am not good with large modifications so that would be a no go.
How about these:

They are white and 55v.
OR for LED:

Any ideas? Will they fit? How hard to install for a non-mechanic?
I am not really worried about lighting as I do not think I used my fog lights for actual driving in the fog in the past ten years. I just want them to match my HID headlights which put out plenty of light for driving.
Thanks again for the help!

the blue colored glass bulbs will not match the white of your OEM HID, it'll actually have a blue hue to it
the LEDs will definitely match your OEM HIDs
but $23 is a rip off, just get them off ebay for $8 shipped,

but like I said don't expect much light output, but you're already running HIDs as your main lighting, so you are ok visibility wise.
The install is very very easy, you need to crawl under the car and remove the plastic cover underneath each foglight, it is like four philips screws (maybe 5 not sure) and two plastic panel fasteners for each cover, YOU DO NOT NEED TO JACK UP THE CAR, there is more than enough clearance.
I know for the first timer, it might be a little daunting taking apart your new car but no worries just do it and in no time you'll be taking everything apart

I always say firsthand experience is the best way to go ! and if you want something done right do it yourself

plus I always have a sense of satisfaction when I learn something new about how to take apart certain parts of the car, just yesterday I took apart the whole center console just to see if I can get a Kenwood unit in there, now that was scary as heck cause it felt like those nice plastic side pieces were going to break off !!
I was following this guy's video :

Anyway, for changing the foglight bulbs it helps to do this in broad daylight with your engine hood propped open to get some sunlight so you can see what you are doing underneath.
after you get the covers off just follow the wiring harness that goes to the foglight, twist the connector and the OEM bulb should come out
then just press the tab on the connector and pull the bulb's plastic base to remove the OEM bulb, (note: you should wear gloves otherwise if you get your fingerprint oil on the glass; it will shorten the life of the bulb,
after you disconnect the OEM bulb; then is just a matter of connecting the new LED bulb and twisting it into the housing, it really isn't that hard.
Whatever you do, please don't go to an auto shop and ask them to swap them out, that's just criminal for them to charge you something this easy. really have to do it yourself and you'll realize how easy it really is.
just try and if you get stuck , post a message to me and I'll walk you thru it.
also, see here for a video, they went with the wheel well route, which you can do, but I don't recommend,
I prefer removing the plastic covers underneath. I find from experience from previous cars that bending back the wheel well plastic once, it'll never be the same again, it won't be smooth as new, you'll always see the "kink" where you bent it back. Also note, not sure why they did this, but video started out with a CX-9 and then they switched to a Ford Escape when they showed how to replace the bulb, but the idea is the same, ours don't have that yellow tab to squeeze before twisting the bulb out:
