Wanted to ask for a little advice regarding me wanting to update the lights on my e30. I want all of my lights to be white. Not blue, not purple, not yellow, but white. So here's my questions. What bulbs would you guys recommend for my turn signals? I'll be getting white lenses and would like the light to be white as well. I'd also like my fog lights to be white a well, so any reccomend action on brands and bulbs would be appreciated.

I believe that HID and LED are the only types of bulbs that allow you to actually choose the light output color.
HID colors are based on what temperature they are operating at. White would be 5000K.
I have never used LED driving/fog lights, but LEDs allow you to choose what color light output you want.
So you basically have two options.
1) HID 5000K low beam, HID 5000K fog light, LED white turn signal.
2) LED white low beam, LED white fog light, LED white turn signal.
It would be best if you bought all the items from one manufacturer/store so that you have the best chances of having everything color matched.
Since you are dead set on having the output a certain color, i would recommend not buying any cheap bulbs because they have the highest chances of discoloration.
