I say keep the yellow.

Now, can you advise what you did to get them that yellow. I brought an HID kit from hidextra and they look greenish. I do have the yellow overlays so i don't know if thats playing a factor. Thanks.

I have the dark yellow overlays... makes solid yellow output, looking at fogs at night with them off almost blends the fogs to the bumper.

Do both.

Yellow in the winter/fall

White in the spring/summer

Yellow cuts through fog, hence why I like it in the winter!

I agree! yellow also makes some contract in lights.. and good for bad weather driving and visibility...
idk i might just switch to 6k for little see how well it flows with the all white front
