HID on fog lights

Hello Toyotanation friends I have a question. I have an 2010 camry SE and I recently bought an Hid kit whit color temperature 6000k and I must say the look great and it was a great improvement over the stock bulbs so I decided to purchase another set for my fog lights an can seem to decide between yellow 3000k blue 6000k or rather buy some cheap yellow bulbs. What do you guys think? plus I am worried that if I get yellow 3000k the will look weird whit the 6000k on top.

yellow fogs are super common, including some camrys here

whatever suits you is important, although the yellow I believe "helps" with visibility in rainy/foggy weather...most do it for aesthetic reasons

You should put the regular bulbs; unless you use some projector fogs, then you can use HID kit.

HIDs in the fog lights will produce a lot of glare because there is no projector no matter what color temp.

what is the brightest yellow fog bulb?

I heard that nokya's are the brightest but some are 85watts so they may burn your harness. I dont know if this is really true.

I have 3000k HID fogs and I love it, I think it gives a great look to the vehicle and it improves visability. I used to have Nokya's on my older car and it did burn the harness if are going to replace it with Nokya make sure you buy the adapter harness

Are the 3k's really bright yellow? My friend told me that they were like orange or something. If they are truly yellow that's the way I'm going to go. The HID's run cooler then factory stock so that's a plus and they're also pretty inexpensive.

You're also the type of car that makes me want to take out a bat and smash your lights.
