fogs are originally yellow because thats how fogs should be
yellow cuts through the fog and lights up the area better than other colours

but if u dont get fog in ur city then i would do HID @ 4300k or 5400k ish

I'd definitely say to go with 4300k HIDs. Here are some pictures to help you out. I never had yellow fogs but it's pretty 'yellow' hahaha

4300k low beam, stock fogs


4300k low beam & fogs

I had 4300k all around up until 2 days ago when I put in 3k in the fog lights... it just doesn't look as cool. I live in AZ and we don't get ANY fog so having fog lights is pretty silly especially if they're yellow since then it's more purposefully on due to fog. if I go back to 4300k, it just looks like I want as much light as possible which I do but in my case, I think the 3k fogs are pretty silly.

I'll leave them in for now but it's just silly. If I go to EOS, I'll show you.

For comparison. It's 5000K in the lows and fogs but it's the yellow and clear housings in the fogs.

Yellow fogs FTMFW! or Hid's that are yellow or pure white. Purple...blue?...that is the worst color suggestion I have heard....it's not an airplane...or is it?

Well if you really want to be original how about 12000K hid...that's like a laser beam....
