Unfortunately the H13 setup is flawed by design:
The H13 is quite possibly the stupidest design for a bulb ever foisted on the public. Low performance at a high price.
Here are some of the best bulbs available along with the Silverstar Ultra Nathan mentioned: http://www.rallylights.com/all/lights/light-bulbs.html?cat=1913
The lightly blue tinted Hella and Philips are very good bulbs, however the improvement is going to be marginal ... but every little bit helps.

Yes I'm not talking about what is sold on ebay but making my current headlights hid the "correct" way and not just throwing hid bulbs in and calling it done I want it right and correct

In my signature there's link called "My (also sold) Denali RX-350 B-X Retrofit" ... that setup is around $1500. You can get a very good off the shelf retro by BFC for around $1000: http://blackflamecustoms.com/customer-build-updatescustomer-keith-lvehicle-2013-gmc-yukon-xlproj/
You can't retro your fogs, the housings are simply too small. The best you can do after a headlight retro is get LED bulbs for your fogs just to match the color of the HID bulbs.

Do they make a 5202 led that is a plug and play?
Yes, just go to v-leds.com and they have them.

There's also these more expensive ones that do put out somewhat of a usable light: http://mtqinc.com/nokyausa/led_access/ledbulb/ledbulb.php

What was the verdict on the Nokya LEDs?
Were they worth it over stock 5202s?

I still don't remember anyone posting output pics of them on the stock tahoe/yukon fogs. One person posted pics of them in a projector, and a couple of others bought them but never posted pics or gave feedback. Well they might have, but can't access head brain hard drive atm to find them if they did.
I was thinking of buying them myself because the esky uses 5202 as DRLs ... but that's too many lumen for that function, plus the DRLs have bulb caps in my housings so forward projecting less seems a waist of money.
