Foglight Bulb Question

Eh watup ya'll. So I bought these fog lights n put em on my face lifted 98 Camry but unfortunately one of the bulbs burnt out.
http://www.pilotautomotive.com/Produ...roductID=27129

The glass has a blue hue to it but it puts out yellow light. Given that piece of information, my question to you...what would be better as far as greater light output with this fog light housing, a yellow bulb (2300K-55watt) ; white bulb (5000k - 55watt) ; or a hyper white bulb (7000k- 80watt).

Now i know that i DO want yellow output, the only reason i ask is cuz the lens on the fog light has a blue hue (which means that it is filtering the blue and white colors of light) and putting out yellow light. So I'm trying to decide if the yellow bulb would be okay with the housing and put out sufficient yellow light, or if I should just buy the hyper white bulb since it is a higher wattage and im pretty sure the white light will be filtered n come out yellow. Let me know your input...

if ya run a yellow bulb in a blue tinted lense it will be greenish yellow since the tint on the glass is supposed to filter out the little amount of yellow from the bulbs that came with the fog lights to begin with. for brightness, get the hyper white bulbs.

That's what I was thinking as well about the greenish output. So yea i'm gonna play it safe and get the hyperwhite bulbs, just hoping that I still get the strong yellow output, thanks bigbird.
