Yellow fogs or HID fogs?

Hey guys,

I just got the aero bumper and sides and was wondering which color bulbs for the foglights would look best...Im stuck in between because on my old 240 I had yellow fogs and on my VIP q45 i had HID fogs and they both look great.

Yellow fogs?

or

HID 6000k fogs?

Remove the dead body next to your car first!!

6000K only if your headlights are that. Otherwise Phillips makes a 4300K H11 bulb that matches your OEM bulbs almost perfectly.

I decided to go with yellow H11 bulbs. I thought about going HID, but was worried about blinding or annoying on coming traffic. If the fogs were projectors, I would have definately gone the HID route.

I put in the Philips CrystalVision (~4000k) bulbs and replaced the stock "running" lights some orange bulbs, I think it looks pretty good. I'll run out and snap a quick pic if you want to see it.
