Post What looks better??

What would look better...fog lights that matched the HID color, or yellow like on Lexus? I am going to buy light bulbs for my Accord fogs but I don't know if I want blue to match or yellow to compliment. Right now it has halogen and it doesn't look too bad but it doesn't really help with fog. So what's better yellow to penetrate fog or blue to match HID??? How have you all solved this problem? And, how close are the H3 bulbs from PIAA to our HID color???

i saw an SI last night... had the "HID" lights and his fogs matched perfectly... looked sweet...
but if you can't do that... since our HID, aren't like the BOBO SI type... that are basically just white, not blue, i'd go w/YELLOW all the way...
looks tight as hell on a GS

Lightbulb

An exact color match would be tops but I doubt you'd get that; so I'd go with another color. I saw a 'teg with some sort of green on it last night and it definitely caught my eye. Sorry I have no idea what it actually was.

Yellow looks best. Gold Iriduim bulbs don't look yellowish white plus they don't fade. I think those are the best and their 85 watts are safe on 55 watt harness.

Cool

I'd go with yellow, because a perfect match would cost some serious cash...

when there is fog, the "fog" light that will actually help is the yellow.

Like how Rice said, Yellow would be good if your sole intention is to be able to see in the fog.

Blue/white is my personal choice since it looks good (IMHO) although it does't quite match with our HIDs.

It's really up to you though.
