Whiter or LED fog lights

H8 is what you want. I commented in an earlier thread about this and personally used Mtech super whites from Hids 4u. About £ 12 and nice and white to match the led headlights. In fact, whisper it quietly, I use the fogs at night to illuminate the sides of our rural roads as they show up potholes brilliantly.
Strictly illegal but I do not wish to trash my wheels or suspension.

You will struggle to get any led dogs that don't bring up an error and unless you're good with resistors and soldering irons I suggest mtec as well but I think I went with cosmos blue which matches my xenons better, unsure about leds though
From the manual, remove two screws in each fog surround to remove the surround, then three mounting screws at front of each fog at the front.
For the FR, you also need to unclip the front arch liners to get behind the fogs.
No need for bumper off, just turn the wheel as far as you can to gain better access to the arch liner

Thanks for the info, I'll be having a go at this at the weekend, so much appreciated.
I'll be fitting these:
I'm assuming I'll need some resistors, so got these to accompany them:
Looks good
You probably know this already, but those resistors can get really hot, hot enough to melt plastic and set fire to combustible stuff
I fix them to a heatsink then bolt that to the metalwork of the car 2 b safe, as I've seen pictures of what's left of an engine bay when a resistor isn't fixed properly
I thought they might get warm, didn't appreciate they'd get that hot.
I got these

Well gave up on mine for now (SE) manual states 1 screw to take off the surround, looks like there are in fact 2, 1 seems to be a normal screwdriver the other looks like a Torx bolt and I don't have one long enough to reach.
I may look again one weekend and try the FR method of getting in behind the arch liner.
