BMW uses H11 55W bulbs for the X6 fog lights. See below:

There probably is, however they will be less usable in fog. The 'whiter' you go with the fog lights, the less useful they will be in foggy conditions. The more yellow they have in them the better (for driving in fog, rain or heavy snow fall conditions). The higher, brighter or whiter the light source, the more light will be reflected back in will make your visibility worse than what it is without the fog lights!

Now for 'looks', the whiter the fog lights, the nicer they look when you have your Xenons on. So it's really a question of if you use the fog lights for what they are intended for (fog, rain or snow conditions) or just for looks...

Fog Lites

Fog lites are yellow for visual contrast. Just like ski goggles.
