I have always just liked a nice clean, white light. But, if you are looking for something different, yellow would look sic

I think anything other than white looks Mexican. Then again, I'm old and straight.

In case you might change your mind, consider going with white fogs and then overlay the lens with yellow tint film. Live with it a while and make up your mind after the trial. My personal preference is white for a consistent appearance but that's just me.

Maybe you should come out from under that
rock you live under and join civilization. On
second thought, just wait until the South
rises.

Actually, there without much difference between 6000K and 8000K.

Just a little, please take a look at below:
1#, 6000K is super white. 8000K with a little blue,It's looks nice when you turn on it.
That's why many people like the 8000K, but more people using 6000k because it's super white without any other clour.

As you mentioned your fog light is HID, and with yellow colour, I think that's would be 3000K, real 3000K xenon bulb0 with golden yellow.
