Need opinion, HID fog or leave it as is?, Poll! 4 combo choices

I changed my Bi-xenon these days, and originally i have yellow fog light film (looks brighter than any of the HID fog light since it's film. I am thinking of getting either:

8000k Light for the Bi-xenon / 8000k HID fog light
6000k Light for the Bi-xenon / 6000k HID fog light
6000k Light for the Bi-xenon / 12000k HID fog light (purple)
leave it as OEM Bi-xenon / yellow fog light

in my opinion... dont go over 6000K. white light is around 4300K and this is the brightest possible. the higher you go, the bluer and less bright. you shouldn't compromise brightness past 6000K.

you should either match or contrast

the slight purple tint looks classy.. go with:

"6000k Light for the Bi-xenon / 6000k HID fog light"

and sell your yellow film foglights to me
