I think having 10K bulbs and 2500K halogen (Yellow) might be a little too much. 10K is too blue.. I would get 5K or 6K bulbs with 2500K halogen bulbs for fogs.

Unless you're getting an HID kit for the fogs, I would get 3K bulbs then.

Yellow fogs always works well with any color.

But I've heard yellow foglights won't look right with a car with black wheels unless its tinted yellow

10k is a heavy blue tint. If you like it then its all you but not my cup of tea.

Yellow fogs offer a good contrast against a whiteish light.

Those 3000k's look sick on your car.

In terms of brightness hids ftw! The leds could barley be discerned to be on from the drivers seat. leds pop on in an instant, if you for some reason hate to witness a badass color changing warm up from green to yellow of the 3000k hids, I invested more money and installation time for the hids, the leds pop right in, without having to remove anything other than your old bulb, and might be a great alternative for the novice. I removed my glare shields and the contrast between the 8000k lows ,and the 3000k fogs is very noticeable, and I like the way it looks. leds are nice but don't do much in terms of improving visibility over stock.

I have a 2000 tl, 10k HID headlights, with an almost yellowish* tinted fog lights, it looks fine, and my car is silver and black... im new so i cant post pictures yet, sorry.. but if anything i think the white car would look better with yellow fogs than a silver car.

why would it matter much? if you have it on during the day, then i'd understand but i'm sure you'll have the lights on more during night time.. and you can't really see a car's color when its dark at night and your lights will be directly in front of someone's face..

i had 4300k low beam and 2500k nokya bulbs.. i loved them but i wanted the fogs to be brighter so i got 3k hid fogs.. (these weren't deep yellow as i wanted it to be) so i went for 5k low beam and 5k fogs.. couldn't be any happier.
