yellow fogs are much more functional in the rain/fog
6000ks would be nice to match the headlights

its all depending on what your looking for i think...

also something to consider, it is really difficult to get your lights to look as good as a lexus.. let us know what you decide and of corse post some pics

I live in Massachusetts as well, with a black maxima. Have 6000k fogs. They are more for looks than functionality. Yellow fogs will be better in fog, but I don't really run into extremely thick fog, and even then, my headlights and fogs suffice. Let me know, I can send you some pics or if you want to see them, just PM me.

6k fogs here..........had yellow fogs at one point

like every one esle stated The yellows perform better IN SNOW for damn sure, and perform better in rain

THE 6K's are pretty damn bright, and LOOK damned good if i dont say so myself

HAVE fun......the yellow fogs are for sure easier to install, as opposed to all the work necessary with wiring the 6K HID kit

if you get 6000k fogs be sure to get 6000k lows too to match...that's the mainly reason i dont want to go 6000k fogs. Lexus Caps here... Operatic (sp?) has custom golden yellow fogs that are really golden yellow not just 3000k. (i'll be getting these once my bulbs go.

I am with you here. Had to many blowout issues with aftermarket fog bulbs. Stock seems to last forever plus changing foglight bulbs on the 5.5 gen is a PITA
