It just looks very miss matched, super highlighter yellow fog lights with normal hids, and white bluish leds on all corner lights, and city lights.
Do you have pictures of white HID's w/ the yellow capsule? What's the temperature of your bulbs?

I have a 3000K HID kit from Mod Express w/ the yellow capsules and my fog lights look green. Not the look I'm going for. I've been searching for pictures of 5000K HID's w/ the yellow capsule but haven't found any.

Something is not right here. This setup should give you the rich yellow that you are looking for.

^^ I've looked at my old photos but I don't. Its very hard to pick up the colour on camera cuz its bright so it tends to darken the photo so it makes it more green than neon yellow. hard to describe but its NOT AMBER yellow its super bright high lighter green/yellow after it warms up with my set up.

I thought it would've been dark. Very disappointed in the green. Just ordered 5000K HID bulbs. Hope I get the result I want.

Your SC looks great. Beautiful photos as well, did you take those yourself?
Your fog set up is pretty much the same that I had on my RSX.
The 3000k HID's with the tinted fog lights create a gorgeous color.

Edit:


Here's a photo I took in my driveway real quick before going to work one morning.
They don't look as bright because it was getting light outside... Also why the car looks bluish and now white haha
I don't have any better pictures of the light output on my laptop sorry =P

Update...installed 5000K bulbs with the yellow capsuled fog light and it looks "highlighter yellow." Still unsatisfied.

Going with Putco Jet Yellow halogens next.

the color doesnt change after you've left it on for a while? 3k bulbs should be the most yellow you get. anything higher and it a mixture of white + yellow.

The bulb starts out green and turns light yellow. You would think a 3000K bulb w/ the yellow capsule would result in a dark yellow/amber but it's not the case. Could be this low end Mod Express HID kit.
