I'm thinking of changing my yellow fog lights to clear ones and put some HIDs. Some of my friends said keep the yellow fog and, some said match it with my stock HID. What do you guys think?

Clear HID fogs for me. They match my OEM HIDs great and I get compliments all the time on this combination. I have Philips Ultinon 6000k bulbs in both low beams and fogs.

I bought my car with yellow fogs...then i bought clear fogs and had hids put in. They look wonderful they match up wit the top so well....but i always had this problem with ballasts goin bad from water and all that crappp i ended up puttin the yellow back in and it looks wayyy more classier.

how about hid yellow fogs?

I vote for the yellow fog I know that is how it comes stock but that is what works best with hids. Plus I dont know of many other car companies other than Lexus that has the yellow fogs

My passenger side ballast is mounted in the air box and my driver side behind the headlight and I've had no problems at all. I also live in South Florida and we get plenty of rain here ( tropical storms and hurricanes, too ).

Is it worth it to put HID in yellow fogs? Will output be that much of a difference?

I think your car would stand out like crazy with yellow hid. If thats what you're aiming for.... The yellow fogs are very rare on any car. I know of very few cars that have yellow fogs and the only cars I can think up of that have them are Lexus cars. ES previous gens, GS300 previous gens, IS 1st gen, LS?. It seems that lexus is phasing out the yellow fogs. None of the new Lexus cars have yellow fogs anymore 'correct me if i'm wrong'.

Either way it makes your car very unique and stands apart from the crowd.

BTW: If you put yellow HID fogs in. I think you might need to change the housing to a clear housing. If you have a yellow housing + yellow HID that would be yellow overkill
Otherwise, you can just put 4300k in the yellow housing.

Edit: Forgot to put in the output part. Yes the HID will be a significant increase in light output. It may also cause glare, but it shouldnt be as much of an issue as the halogen headlight => HID since the fogs are lower to the ground. If you want to compare the difference of light output...just go up to a car with halogens and compare with HID. I'm sure you have done the comparison before.
