Get both :P. When you get tired of one you can change it to the other.

Just upgraded to 6k lows and 6k fogs. Personally, not a fan of yellow fogs. Looks 80's to me...

I like matching lights. One is not better than the other, it's just what you like.

White fog lights work terrible in actual fog. The light reflects off of all the fog and you can't see crap because everything is white. I'm thinking of switching to 3000K myself because I don't want to play the matching game anymore.

I tried that once, and it didn't turn out so well. OEM HID bulbs with 5000K fogs:
Currently, I still have the 5000K fogs but with 6000K lows.

6k helps me see when its clear out at night. Definitely adds output in addition with headlights. It doesn't work too well in the rain though.
