Anything but yellow is pretty much all about appearance.

So i would say if you want functionality, go with Yellow.

Big baller status, white. I dont know to much about blue.

Thats my two cents on your situation.

I don't know if your bulb is special, but pretty much 4500K is white, or stock white (w/ a hint of yellowish). I've tried everything below and my color chart is like that below...

2500K - 3000K - Yellow
4300K - 5000K - Stock White
6000K - White (w/ a tiny hint of blue) <- Perfect color n brightness
8000K - Bluish White (very blue and not as white as 6000K)
12000K - Purplish White (looks pink and not suitable for night)

Good luck with whatever new bulbs you get. I've had two sets of ebay bulbs and neither lasted more than around 6 months. I think I'm going to get some HIDs now

Yellow is functional, and there was a trend a while back (I think due to Lexus).

White is if you want to use the fog lights as running lights instead.

How often do you drive in foggy weather? If it's alot, go with yellow. How often do you drive at night without fog? If it's alot, go with white. White's functional as running lights.
