Default Fog light help

Hey, i had clear fogs with yellow HID bulbs and it doesnt seem that bright of a yellow. I Then bought the yellow capsule fogs with my yellow HIDs and it still doesnt seem as yellow as the ones ive seen rolling around. does anyone have any ideas why this might be? My fogs doesnt seem that brigh either compared to others, my friends did the same color scene and his turne dout a greenish color.
