I bought the
Audi A4 Avant 02 03 04-07 LED Xenon H11 Fog Light Bulb (280362991614)
(hope this link works)
Since they are the same colour of LED's as the headlight i am just assuming that they are the same. for 49 bucks its worth a try....
As soon as they get here I will post pics for sure (should be 5-9 days)

Cool! Looking forward to seeing them. Keep in mind though that the LED bulbs won't throw the same light that your halogen bulbs do. The LED bulbs will be extremely visible, but they won't help you see much more of the road.

When you put LED fog lights on your audi doesnt it say your fog lights are burnt out. I had that problem with my LED tail lights.

I know on the B5s there is no warning for burnt out fogs.

God I hope not, I didnt even think about that...... There must be some way to get around that, if that does happen.

I think ive read in here somewhere about taking it in and getting them to change some codes or something.

I think the only way is if the lights have resistors or you install resistors like i did in my tail lights. Does anyone know if a warning light is gonna come up if i use H11 LED fog light bulbs?

It depends on the bulbs. For example, for my license plate lights, I bought LED bulbs that have the resistors already built in. Other guys who have bought them without the resistors get the "bulb out" code. I guess the OP will find out for us when his arrive.
