I was not happy that the stock fogs didn't match the HID headlights, so I had to decide if I was going to try to match they HIDs by getting new fog bulbs that had the HID look, or go the other direction and get contrasting yellow fogs. I decided to go the second route and made my fogs yellow by applying yellow lamin-x film to them.
I think it offers a few advantages over switching to yellow bulbs. First the film is simple to apply so you avoid the labor hassle of switching the bulbs out. Second, the film is cheaper than decent bulbs, and you don't risk getting crappy bulbs that burn out quickly. Third, the film also provides protection for the fogs from rocks, which is actually the main purpose of it. Finally, the film is easy to remove if you decide you don't like it.
I've had it on my coupe for a few months and I am still happy with it. Plus I don't think the fogs do much to improve your driving visibility when you have HIDs. By switching to yellow at least you gain the advantage of having oncoming cars see you better. Yellow if VERY visible in poor/foggy weather.
