Yellow Fog Lights

Here is another good article about yellow bulbs/lenses.

And one about fog lights in general.

The bottom line for me is that the factory fog lights on almost all current vehicles are purely cosmetic; they don't function well enough to help in fog, regardless of bulb color. They are mounted way too low in the front bumper cover to be effective. Since they are cosmetic and didn't match the HID headlights anyway, I changed out the OEM bulbs for yellow-tinted bulbs. I'd use HID bulbs if they didn't create so much glare on wet roadways.

Well, I guess I'm in luck.
I bought cheap HID bulbs from eBay, so there are times where the color is a greenish-yellow. HA!
 
My 3000k hid's start out green everytime you turn them on then they warm up to a nice yellow....
