Default Yellow fogs vs matched fogs!?!

Why do some people go for the Yellow Fog look?
Better visibility?
Or is it that JDM look!?!

While others go for the Matched fog look, which is right now what I am leaning towards to match my HID with HID fogs or PIAA 9006 bulbs.

What is your opinion of this? Equal amounts of members here have gone either way, and what were your reasons for doing so?

Yellow FTW! Yellow stands out while matched is boring.

i've got piaa's that when looking straight on it matches the headlights pretty well, but look yellow from the side. from the driver seat, it reflects yellow on the road. i like them a lot.

Both are nice, but I went with yellow to keep the heritage of the Lexus/IS factory yellow fog look.

Yellow FTW, not cause it's JDM. Cause it's how a Lexus comes and should have came on the 2IS.

JDM and JDM, I don't see yellow fogs on their IS's in Japan

If you want real JDM, go for that expensive LED fogs lol.
