HID Fogs. Yellow Lens with 3K vs 8K.

I have an 04 TSX and I just put oem Yellow fog lights in. I also put in 3K HID's right away. When I first turn them on they are lime green and then fade to yellow. (extremely bright btw)
My question is if you had 8K or 10K HID bulbs in there, would they always be lime green or what? I was thinking because blue+yellow=green. I just want to make sure.

8k bulbs aren't very functional. They look good, but function > form, IMHO.

I think it would just look weird, IDK. I'd stick to the JDM yellow look

Honestly, the right temp for white light lies between 4 - 5K. Anything else is just not going to shine enough of the right colored light where you'll want it.

i have 6K in both lows and fogs. it looks great and shines the road pretty well. i wouldn't go anywhere above 6K though. it gets too blue-ish..
