Default HID Foglights... Your opinions please

So i have a Xenon Depot 4300k low beam kit on my LX470 I installed like two weeks ago. I was just curious if you guys think i should go with a HID kit for my foglights also and if so, what color?

I was looking for information reguarding this from people who currently have a HID kit in their lexus. Was it worth it? Would you have gone with a different color? How much brighter are they in fog application?

I either want to go with a 3000k yellow kit or a 4300k to match the headlights but im not sure which if any yet. Your help please.

personally, I would go with the 3000K kit. I like the yellow foglights, it is pure Lexus. I already have the yellow foglights on my GS430, but I want to go with yellow HID fogs eventually.

Blinding Glare!! hazardous to other drivers.

HID's belong in the proper housings.

teh foglights on the LX are projector so they wouldnt cause any unwanted glare. I hate seeing cars with HIDs in housings that arent ment for them and create alot of glare. I usually get behind them or flash them with my driving lights which are BRIGHT.

Will HIDs in my IS350 foglights cause glare? I know the housing isn't meant for HIDs, but I thought the way the housings are designed most of the light output for the foglights is pretty low.
