Default Help me pick Yellow or Clear Blue fog overlays

I'm planning on getting the clear bra and the fog overlays are pretty much included in the price. I cant decide on clear blue or the yellow. Does anyone know if the yellow overlays look similar to the GS yellow fogs which come with the HID package when lit?
I'm also wondering if I should get clear blue layed over the headlights.

My IS350 is SILVER.

Does it look like the old yellow ones do when they are lit up? I kinda miss that look from my GS.

I personally like yellow so I went with 3500K HID fog lights. So yellow gets my vote.

I like yellow but I don't know how good it would look on silver.

Would yellow overlays look nice on black if I stick to OEM HIDs?

YES!! I think that the yellow would look best on black. I think I am going to go with the blue since my car is silver, but if it was black I'd definitely go with yellow, nice contrast.
