Yellow Fog lights or Stock?

So i have a 2008 E350 and I recently installed 5000K Xenons and changed the drive lights (the lights in the high beam housings) to orange. I'm stuck on whether or not to keep the yellow fog lights or go back to favtory, or maybe even upgrade to LED 6000Ks. I live in NYC so theres not much fog. Any opinions would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I don't have much fog in my area, but I sometimes drive to an area that does, and if I have to use yellow lights that 1 time it was worth it. That's why I changed mine from white to yellow.

we never get fog in AZ - I just think 1. yellow is true fog light color and 2. looks sportier

Fog lights?
In lot of countries it is illegal to have them on without fog.
Last time I used them was like 25 years ago.
Now changing the yellow marker light to 6000k LED is something I liked and friends follow.
