^ If you want to see well, 4300K +/- 200K is your best bet. You lose brightness with 6000K.

I had both 6K for low beams and fogs, then I got bored and changed it to 3K. Not going to lie though...the 6K did add more output to my low beams, but I still like my 3K fogs.

Still curious to see what 5k combo (lows and fogs) looks like on the IS in comparison to the 6k. 6k is a little high for me and I don't want to lose that much light output or be to blue.

I would say 3k if you are in a high fog area and 6k anywhere else. Both look good in their own way. Where I live it would be 6k for what it's worth.

3K is best, or one better with 2500K.

I chose 4300k for my fogs. In your shoes, I would choose the 3k
