3000K would look great, and is supposed to be better during foggy drives.

I vote yellow.

You can have it bright and still not blind anyone. A few days ago on a highway with no streetlamps, someone had their high beams on but it was yellow light. It was hella bright but didn't struck my eyes like a white light would. So you do get the safety of brighter light (and not to mention the colour) and not **** anyone off.

Im not a fan of yellow fogs so the white HID would be the winner

The yellow makes it look original, the white makes it too much on the eyes. You already have HID headlights, might as well keep them yellow =] Or purple

I currently have my stock yellow lenses, but I think they will be up for sale soon and im going to go with the clear lenses. That way I can install an hid kit and switch off from 3000k to 6000k whenever. Btw..what hid kits are you guys running for fog lights?

Ok, so tonight was possibly one of THE most foggy nights I've driven in.

Going home, I say many a car with both white (halogen&HID) fogs, and yet others with the yellow fog.

I can without a doubt say, that the cars equipped with yellow fogs, both halogen and/or HID, were brighter, and by far had less glare than those that had a white light, both halogen & HID.

In real life situation, dense fog;

Yellow Halogen and/or HID > Anything else.

End of story, end of thread, blah blah blah.

I have yellow halogen fogs in my RX300, and they're pretty bright but when it comes to dense fog/rain I barely notice the difference.

On the other hand I think in dense fog your yellow fogs will stand out much better than white HIDs, plus they look awesome.
