Default HID fogs... 3500K vs 6000K in yellow housing?

anybody have pictures of 6000K HID in yellow fog light housing?
Just curious to see what would happen...


Because the DSM run 9006 also, so if I put the HID into the fog, jsut wondering what color would it come out. lol

Its probably going to look very weird. I have 3500k in yellow housing, and its very green for the first minute or so until it warms up, and then it becomes very yellow.

I did, but didn't do through all of them as it seems like they all just ask HID for yellow housing, but didn't see anything about 6000K...

ummm... bright green... that's.....fun
I guess I'm sticking to halogen.... (not like I really need it for seeing the road....)
