You could get some yellow lamin x for your fogs. They're not a bad investment because they also prevent your fog lense from cracking if a rock were to hit it while driving which many people do unfortunately experience.

I actually just ordered them. For 20 bucks I figured it was worth trying. My question now is if I should get a new hid kit and if so which one should I get or can I purchase yellow bulbs. I found hyper yellow h7 bulbs. Theyre 2500k but will that be bright enough?

I have 3500k yellow fogs from DDM tuning. I ran them in both of my Audi's and they last years. Really bright and very yellow! $15.00 a pair and lifetime warranty They burn out, just send em back for a replacement.

I purchased 3500k bulbs from HeadlightBulbs.com and yellow LaminX film for use in my fog housings. I like the look when paired with my 6000k HIDs.

Only thing about using yellow HALOGEN bulbs instead of HIDs is that lamin-x tends to get burn marks because they run hotter. Get 3500k HID bulbs if you want to prevent that. Works great for me.
