Just installed un-yellow fogs, very un-happy
So, I just went outside to swap out the stock bulbs with the Polarg Yellow bulbs. When I turned it on, it was just a bit more yellow than stock, but not by much. Not impressed. Do they turn more yellow as time goes by? Or did I make a bad choice?
So I just searched for everything on CL, even on the GS, and ES sections, and everyone seems to have a different opinion as to which is the yellowist out of all the brands. Now I'm not sure what I should do next. I'm not going to go with yellow HIDs unless absolutely necessary (due to the price, work, and risks involved), so I'm going to try a different brand. I also don't want to use yellow overlays either, because I want to keep that clear stock look during the daytime.
Here are the brands that I would like to know how yellow the bulbs light up:
Polarg
vs.
PIAA
Nokya
Luminics
Lexus OEM (if that even exists, maybe for older ES models?)
Other?
I made the mistake of paying extra for the Polargs when my gut instinct even told me to go with the cheaper Nokyas. Oh well, I guess is a lesson well learned for $60.
Please help, as I really don't know which way to go. Thanks!!

This might help (though excuse the crappy cell phone quality):
Driver side's the stock bulbs, passenger side Luminics (note: aerotect yellow fog overlays are installed on the car).

most HIDs are plug & play, meaning that all you do is plug the ballast into the existing wiring harness. you can do it yourself with a little patience. it is easiest to remove the bumper to be sure the ballasts are placed in a secure position. as long as the ballast is only pushing 35w (same as stock) you will not damage the factory harness.
there are plenty of DIY threads as well as discussion threads on this topis as well.

honestly go for the nokya 2500K bulbs, because when you consider it, if you have HID fogs, you could have problems by using the high beam because it shuts your fogs off- so having a halogen bulb takes away that issue
