I have a HID kit on my factory yellow fogs. This is a regular HID kit like 4300K or whatever factory is ... I'm not 100% sure. The fogs are REALLY, REALLY YELLOW right now using the "white" bulbs and the factory yellow housing. I'm not sure how it would look with yellow HIDs.

My fogs look mean and they get noticed when they are on. I used to think they are kind of dumb and pointless (especially here in AZ), but I enjoy them now because it makes my car stand out. I recently had someone drive towards me in my car so I could see how it looked to have it coming at me. It's really yellow and stands out, but nothing like those _ _ _ _ _ _ with ultra bright bulbs and poorly aimed housings! I can see these Civics and what-have-you coming from a mile away and they just blind the hell out of people.

4GrainR- As an experiment I put my 12000k HID kit in my yellow fog light housing and it made the "yellowness" turn more towards white. Are you foglights more on the whiter side than the yellow?

What does everyone think of maybe an 8k in the low beam and getting a 10 or 12k for the fogs [for looks only] ?

I say drive with them on if you have either HID or YELLOW fogs, rather than the plain halogen ones.

I don't have HID fogs, but have since replaced the stock halogen with SilverStar Ultras and now there on all the time when I drive at night.

I must have voted when I first got on here and selected 'off'. It's been 'on' for the past couple of years though. I like the look of HID headlights plus yellow fogs. It's very GS.
