Default New fog lights

I bought some new fog lights from http://www.kbcarstuff.com which is a vendor on here a couple days ago. I went with the Nokya Arctic White 7000k (55w) a few days ago to get more of a color match with the stock headlights color and a little bit of a more blue look over the headlights. I was very happy with the results. Not too blue and a close match. If I end up not liking them in the future I can always just pop the others back in. What do you guys think? Below are some pics (sorry for the crappy cell phone pics)

No yellow at all. Its pure white with a hint of blue. I drove around for a bit tonight and the visibility from the light output is basically the same as stock if not a bit brighter.
