Bulb Types - SS Fog Lights

I was looking in my manual for the bulb types in my HHR. I was thinking about changing them out to use the HyperWhite bulbs that give the blueish glow to the beam. I had these in my S10 SS and I liked the way the illuminated the road. My manual says that the Headlamp Bulb is a H13 but I see no listing for the fog lights. It says to consult my dealer and I'd rather consult you guys. If anyone knows the bulb type and can make any recommendations for replacement bulbs I would appreciate it.

I guess I would like confirmation on the fog light bulb as it looks to be different than the standard HHR fog lights. I remember doing the same for my S10 SS and the bulb info online was wrong and all the autoparts stores had it wrong too. I had to pull the bulb and show them because they didn't believe me. I would rather not pull the bulbs from the HHR until I found suitable replacements.

OK assuming I do not want to pop for the HID conversion what would be the bulbs that would give the best bluish tint. I see 8000K and 8500K available in the H13 and also H11 bulb sizes.

I would also be interested to see what a HID conversion kit costs for the HHR.

Ok after a bit of research I think these may be the best to replace my headlights and fog lams

H13 Headlights - http://www.eautoworks.com/product-Nokya-33296.htm
-They also have a 80W Version but that may only be beneficial if I tint out my headlights

H11 Fogs - http://www.eautoworks.com/product-Heliolite-100068.htm
