Stock fog lights

Can you change the bulbs or would you need to replace the whole thing?

yes you can change the bulbs,

Most people (like myself on my previous Z4) bought the Xenon match foglamps so they don't look so yellow compared to the Xenon lights

I used Hoën,

i personally would get a HID kit. IMO the xenon match bulbs look cheap. get a 5k HID kit and they will match your headlights. looks awesome at night

i heard that HID fogs actually reduce the visibility somehow. dont quote me on that though

ZGirl, the bulb size is H11 and there are a million options you can go with. Sure, yellow too, I used to run yellow in Jap cars, not sure I plan on doing that with a german.

As for a diy, just look inside your wheel wells and you'll see 2 flaps. Open the lower one, unplug the bulb harness, turn the bulb and remove the old one, insert the new one, plug in the harness, re-fix the protective flap and you're done.

HID fogs are the only way to truly match your low beams. I run 6,000K HID fogs and 6,000K HID low beams. Looks great and lots of light.
