If they are truly to be used as fog lights, then keeping them yellow is better. Yellow lights will not reflect in the fog as bad as white lights will in foggy conditions making it easier to see.

There are some vendors that will supply the BA9 with a reversed polarity set up. (This is what I did.)
Another option is to get the panel kind of LED with a cable on it and you control the polarity by reversing the connector. The panel kind installs with adhesive.
