Default 2010 S5 yellow fog lights

I just took ownership of a used 2010 S5 cabriolet. I'm not too happy with pale-yellow OEM fog lights and would like to replace the bulbs with ones that are much more yellow.
Can anyone let me know what bulb number I need to shop for and which bulbs are considered the most yellow? Durability is also a priority so I don't have to change them for a long while.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Hoen makes great bulbs whether you want yellow or to match the xenon. Fogs would be H11 bulbs. Hoen

Thanks for the recommendation J. I'll look into Hoen H11.

Lots of views but not many comments.
After extensive research I've narrowed the short list down to either Hoen Endurance or PIAA yellow Plasma Ion fog bulbs.
My priorities are most yellow possible, at least as bright as OEM and durability.
Have any members compared these two bulbs and have an opinion to share?
Thanks.

One more question: it seems yellow PIAA H11 is available in 35w and 55w, while Hoen Endurance is 55w only.
Besides the logical brighter output of the 55 vs 35, are there any heat issues to consider? I'm not sure if my S5 is 35 or 55.
Can anyone help clarify?
Thanks again

I agree, they're pretty lame. Personally, I'd like to replace them with BLUE lights; would look pretty rockin'. Would like suggestions for those, if anyone has any.

I've heard that if they're replaced with the wrong bulb/company, they don't move in tandem with the road, so while that's not a BIG issue, its something to consider.

We have a few different options for fog light bulbs from Yellow, Super White, and Platinum White.

Let me know what style bulb your vehicle uses and I'll provide the link!

Also another tip for those wanting more vibrant Yellow fogs. Yellow Lamin-X works great!

For anyone interested, I learned from Audi today that the fog bulbs are H11 and 55watts. I decided to order the PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow bulbs. I had them on my BMW and liked them and they seem to get good reviews for durability.
Thanks all.
