I think yellow headlights are rice, but yellow fogs on IS and GS looks nice and original. If anything, blue HID fogs are rice...

Yellow isn't rice, changing every bulb/backlight in the car to look like HIDs is rice. Next we'll see HID lights in the glovebox..........

What do you mean "every bulb/backlight"? Are you talking about interior wise?? If so how is that rice? Maybe if it was red or something but even then how does a color of a bulb make a car rice? Anyways off topic.....

I would say hyper white. Regardless if yellow is original or "rice" looking, yellow just looks cheap to me and looks like somebody pissed all over my foglights.

Probably said best here! I think that yellow is rather more OEM than it is rice. Besides, yellow is what foglights are supposed to be, since foglights are supposed to be used in (drumroll please)...fog. Yellow is fairly low on the temperature scale meaning it as very little glare as opposed to white or blue. I'm sure you wouldn't want glare driving in the fog. So basically, yellow is not rice, yellow is practical. Now that I mention it, anyone try red fogs?

Btw, Robs IS250 looks good!

but nobody ever told me if they like the LUMNICS brand and if they have seen the Titanium White and the 2500k Yellow? The white looks almost the same as the hid headlight
