Default Suggestions for replacement fog lights.

I'd like to get some suggestions on changing the fog lights... should I replace them with HID's? I've already change the headlights to HID's...., or should I replace them with Phillips Crystal Vision? How about Yellow fogs? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I was contemplating in changing the fogs with HID kit. I tried to change to H11 LED bulbs, but the lumens output was by no means even a close match to the HID's. The yellow fogs were very popular in the 80's w/ sealed beam headlights, but now with the introduction of ultra white xenon bulbs and even the newer LED headlights, don't think the yellow fogs will give any practical results; IMO it will hinder you. I remember vividly it was cool to have yellow rectangular Hella halogen to complement the round quad sealed beams. Yes sir, in those days halogens were the kings of the road. Have you noticed that the side mirrors do block the wide pattern beam of the fogs?
