you should really do your search 
well, even if you get 6k for your fogs and headlight, the color will not perfectly match
the brand of those HID bulbs will vary the color slightly
and if I were you, I wouldn't put yellow fog light on SGM color
yellow fog only looks good on white or black car IMO

I went with the 8K lows and 3K fogs, only because I wanted to keep the hertiage of the IS300's yellow fogs. I am thinking of switching over to 6K lows now because of what everyone is saying about the visibility of the 6K, although I like the look of the 8K.

Its not easy to match a prjector lense with halogen lense. I almost think it would match better with 8k fogs and 6k lows. I have 8k top and bottom and the fogs looks much whiter.

The projector lense does not affect the color, except perhaps right at the cutoff where the light refracts around the shield. It is likely that the bulbs are aged differently or come from different manufacturers/batches.

Hi,
If you are looking for best performance in foggy situations I would go with 3000k yellow HID as the yellow light will cut right through the fog. You will find that 6000k HID in fogs is more cosmetic vs functional. It is just a question of what you are looking to achieve.
