You will want a 55w H7 replacement bulb. So long as it conforms to the factory rating, you will not get error codes or risk the factory housing/wiring.

One option are the Xenesis Tru Match bulbs which are a hyperwhite replacement. You won't get a true xenon match from a halogen bulb but they will be whiter than stock.

your car type needs H7 55W for DRL to be error free since that is what your running now. secondly, i wouldn't recommend PIAA's as they are way over-priced and performance ratio to price isnt worth it.

your fog lights are H11 55W. its probably best to get the same brand for perfect matching. in this case, MTEC super whites would be a perfect match to OEM, but pure white with no yellow like stock

Any hyperwhite bulb will work fine and not cause any errors as long as it's the same wattage as OEM
