2GS, which is more yellow?

So I have a GS430, with OEM HID headlights and yellow halogen fogs. I want my fogs more intense and more yellow, I found a pic in this forum, which I'm posting below - I want my fogs like that.

I understand there are a few options, which are:

1) Remove the yellow lense and add 3000K HID kit, but from what I read it doesn't look too yellow.
2) Add a 3000K kit and keep the yellow lense.
3) Keep the yellow lense and add 4100K HID kit, which has the most light output.

I wonder 2 vs 3, which one will be more entense and yellow?

3000k HID with yellow lens for sure. Trust me on this. There is a difference. It's YELLOW.

well thats true, but on the other hand the foglight already has a yellow lens, so the output will already be yellow, and a 4300K has more light output. Afterall, the regular halogen bulb inside the foglight is clear.

+1

Plus, I'm pretty sure most 3000k kits have the same intensity as 4100k/4300k kits. Yellow on yellow = best light output and best overall look.
