if you had both white fog light and head lights there wont be any dispersion of light. You will be lighting up all the fog in front of you and blind yourself. yellow is one of the longest wavelength in the color spectrum and suppose to help stop the dispersion. Its still skeptical so yea haha. i drove with both white fog light and head light it was no bueno. i also think the yellow fogs help to reflect off the reflectors on the street!!

i don't like matching either. went with 2500k fogs as my second mod after redouts.

JDM yellow looks sexy with HIDs.

plus 2500k lights have the brightest output, so they really cut through fog.
