Default Yellow Fogs vs. White Fogs?

I just installed 6K low beams and tried to match the fogs but i am finding that hard to do. I wanted to know which color of fogs you guys would prefer on a Black IS with 6K low beams???

I have a black IS, i'm about to install yellow overlays/ bulbs over xmas break. I will definitely post pics for you if you have not decided on what to get yet.

imo, black cars should go with 6000k type fogs or higher, white cars look good with yellow fogs. OF COURSE black cars look good with yellow too... It's all 'subjective' to the owner.... hope that helped

i like white lows and yellow fogs or blue/white lows with matching fogs... just my personal opinion.... i say don't worry too much about matching them perfectly... if you want blue/white go for it...

Yellow fog-lights give you slightly better contrast in fog or snow. That´s all for the practical side. If it´s for the looks, than definitely white!
My fogs and hi-beams are both 4300K and I absolutely love it.
Yellow lights always remind me of old french cars till up to the 1980s. Not only it looked crappy but lighting was bad too with these.
No offense to you guys loving yellow, just a personal trauma.

I'm planning on installing 3K 9006 HID fogs using Denso/Toyota ballasts in about a month when the Tom's front lip come in on my black car.

White especially since you're going with iForged rims. It'll match better.
IMHO, I think yellow is for tuner styling.

Couldn't agree more. I think i should try to match my low beams with a nice whitish blue, just cause my car isnt tuner.
