| Need opinions on foglight bulb colour
Foglights are projectors like this: 
Car looks like this:  
They will go along the bottom under the two blacked out corner lights, aligned under the headlights (where the headlight meets the grill)
Headlights are at 6000k temperature.
Already looked into the debate about whether 3000k is actually more beneficial in rain and snow etc. I'm ecstatic about both colours which is exactly why I need some extra opinions since I'm on the fence.
2500K Yellow or 6000k white with blue-ish ?
I'm just thinking 2500k might be for more of a race-oriented type car whereas I think mine is more "VIP" style so it should match the headlights at 6000k or.... well completely on the fence lol since I'll be running the fogs as driving lights and I've always wanted the yellow DRL's.
Please help me decide which would look better lol
Thanks guys!

My vote goes to the Yellow ones.
Like you said its more beneficial in the rain and snow. Even though its pretty common, it still looks great and still stands out.
IMO a "VIP" car with yellow foglights is pretty sex. It's like... a car with with class meets a car with style.
Let us know what you decide!

This is the cutoff on these fogs, with a 6000k HID kit though. On HidPlanet, arguably the best set of projectors for its price ( "Blazer" ).
Have high expectations for these fogs even though I'm just going to run halogens for now, which will probably be the yellow 2500k nokya's since every single person has voted yellow except for one sarcastic 10000k lol

DDM 35w 3000k HID's in the blazer fogs that i've ordered. Looks amazing and really pushing me to order the HID's although there's known heating issues with putting HID's in. 
You can't tell me that doesn't look good.
Since the projector lens IS clear, next thing I'm contemplating is whether to leave the projector lens clear, or order some lamin-x tint film that will reduce damage (rock chips etc) to the projector lens as well as keep the yellow look even when the bulbs are off.
Should I get the yellow lamin-x film tint?
