i had yellow lamin-x on my old set of fogs and never had a problem with melting. i put them on for the same reason you want to, to keep the yellow look even when the lights are off.
My fogs were just normal 35w bulbs though, i'm not sure if you'll get problems with HID's.

I'm running the 35W DDM 3000K kit too!! There's little to no heat produced when compared to my stock bulbs. I actually ran the Smarteye HID kit before it, and although that one was definately brighter, it ran hot to the touch whereas the DDM kit is cool.
I like the DDM 3000K becasue the foglight itself looks stock to almost a dim halogen color (no JDM yellow look), but there's lots of light on the ground and it'll still cut through fog.  | |

How'd you get your hands on a DDM kit?
The shipping from ddmtuning itself is pretty expensive. Did you manage to find it locally

hmmm i thought HID was supposed to be less hot than halogens?
i got my hands on a set of IS300 projector fogs online. they're already using clear yellow projectors. so doesn't matter what colour bulb i use, but i have a set of 3000K HIDs sitting around anyways. should i just get regular 3000K bulbs on top of the yellow projectors?
seems like having 3000K HIDs might be too much on top of already yellow projectors... what do you guys thing?

Go with yellow. Superior visibility and better looks, what more can you ask for?
The 6000k looks a bit ricey and out of place on fogs.

credit card billing address is obviously in Canada, so I'm assuming this is the new system?

Blazer projectors? aka Canadian Tire?
And VIP?
I can't believe you put those two together. Nothing says cheap ass shit fog lights like Blazer brand. I wouldn't even put that shit on my Crapalier... and it's a piece of shit.

Are these supposed to be FOG lights, or BLING lights?
Answer that question, and you'll have the answer to your choice of color.

^ the IS fogs aren't as good as the ES fogs, I did a lot of research before buying blazer.
Sadly I don't have any pics of them as I just got them on again Monday haha
was going to retrofit them in to my oem fogs but there wasn't enough clearance trying to work around it right now  | |

any colour is good as long as you aim them properly and not turn them on for no reason. both will blind traffic and make people hate you.

They're widely praised and arguably the best projectors for their price, giving the best output and cutoff while keeping it under budget.
Like aznboi mentioned, they're compared to OEM quality lexus is300 fogs, as well as used in the corvettes if I remember correctly.

All done and installed at RISE auto salon (RS sponsor).
Weak output since they're halogen bulbs still, but looks great in terms of aesthetics.
What do you guys think?  | |

Just ship it to your billing then, brokerage fees will suck but it's very good quality to price value. I ran brightstars on my old integra and those still go for 3-400 /set. Posted via RS Mobile | |
