White HID or JDM style?

I recently got accord fogs for my TL.
I'm not sure of what bulb I want to put in, either HIDs or the yellow jdm style..I like them both... any suggestions?

Just really depends what you want... If you like them both, get them both and switch them out according to your mood. Just a thought.

HID can be any color, btw. You can get 3k HID and they will be yellow, which is what I would recommend over halogens anyway.

I just did my Accord fogs too and plan to use yellow bulbs =)
You really have to see the nice contrast from the white headlights with the yellow fogs to like them.

I saw a TSX on the road with yellow fogs (probably HIDS) and I said "I have to use yellow bulbs!" haha

I heard the glare from HIDs are unbearable.

I like the yellow but my gf likes the matching white. So her car is yellow and mine is white...go figure. Yellow is better in actual fog but that's not really an issue in socal. Get both and see which you prefer. Haha

guitar - depends on the wattage of the HIDs that you get, for fogs (since they are non-projectors), I would recommend 35w.

I heard 35 watt kits still produce a lot of glare.

It's just the nature of the accord fogs being retrofitted.

I'm running stock bulbs and it's producing crazy glare.

I still have to aim them down though haha.

No fogs:

Holy cow that's crazy. With the perfect aim you'll light up a 6-lane highway without blinding people.

you can 3000K (yellow), or 5000K 35W HID aimed properly without blinding anyone, if you don't plan or HIDs, then try nokya yellow

OP if u want to cut through fog yellow is the best way to go... But I would just get yellow bulbs and 5-6k HID's and swap them bak and forth.
