Question How many K is the best yellow for fog?

I am planning to change the fog light bulbs, but not sure how many K is the best yellow to go with a 6000k headlight?

You will find it exceedingly difficult to find bulbs that are out of the 3000-3500K range yellow.
3000K is the most common.

+1 for the nokya 2500 fogs, a lot less of a hassle than to install HID fogs, shines clear and bright, and gives the bright yellow appearance that you want

heres the thing about 2500k bulb vs 3k hid fogs: from the drivers seat the 3k hids look great, for ppl looking at your car the 2500k nokya look better.

that's debatable.

Personally, I don't like the 3000k HID bulb's color. it's like highlighter yellow unless you have yellow overlays.

^^I have to disagree. I have 3000k and they're yellow as hell! And believe me they're much more yellow than this picture.
