I think it's cool. Definately the head turner you want. It's yours do as you please. But IMHO I would go yellow for the fogs and a White with a hint of blue in the DRL and Headlights.

Ive had those Nokya yellow fog lights and man did they suck. I suggest getting a 3000k HID set for your fogs and a yellow overlay for the fog light housing.
What was wrong with the Nokyas?

Not a huge fan, but it's different! And the only thing that matters is if you like it

for some reason they wouldn't fit into the fog light housing and I made sure they were the correct bulb. they would sit inside of it, but wouldn't twist on like other light bulbs do. other than that, it just wasn't a deep enough yellow for me

Not my taste. I'd go with yellow fogs over blue but then again I do not care too much for yellows either. Not feeling the blue city lights and interior either. It is your ride though.

I highly recommend NOT driving through the red light district in any city. If you know what the blue light typically signifies when lit on the exterior of a building, then you probably don't want any connection to it.

I like to keep it simple. 6000k for parkings, fogs, and lows.

Now i go with 5000k on my crv.

I like the output and the color of stock led interior light up front. hurt my eyes when they're too bright

You should add some red lights so you can have the matching set.
