Default opinion on hid fogs?

Hey guys, looks like the mod bug is bitting me again. I need some opinions on what HID bulbs i should get for the fog lights? I was leaning towards the 3000k bulb color rather than the 8000k bulb color?

I had a white rsx before and 3000k color looks really good with it. I had yellow housing on those foglights also.

I'm planning to keep my fog housing clear on the IS.

Any opinions?

HID fogs are definitely a good step. I got 8k to match my lows, thinking of going with 6k everything so they are more usable. haha

imo, 8,000k fogs with 8,000k lobeams give out a more luxury look, and the 3,000k fogs gives the IS a more sporty look.

so i guess it just depends on what route you are taking towards modding your car? i picked 8,000k fogs being that i'm going for a VIP look.
