you need to get 6000k if you get white... Some members here have yellow and I think it looks good.
Just depends on your taste.

I have 8000k in the fogs, which has a slight tint of blue, but I've seen the yellows in a memeber car and they look sick

Hey is that a Lexus i see coming at me in those pics




+1 if you want to go yellow you need a bulb around 2500K and if you want to match your HID lights then you need to be 6500K and above. Try Nokya bulbs, they make both, they work great and good price too.

I currently have the 6500K, but have been thinking of making the switch to the yellow myself. Although it doesnt ever get too foggy here in Denver

Never mind I wont go there!!!

my vote is to match your headlights & foglights in white...
