Yellow Driving/Fog lights

DOT and ECE approved HID headlights are NOT blue.
They are WHITE.
The BLUE you see is because of the cutoff shield in the projectors. It bends the light that hits it, and causes the blue prism effect you see. The actual beam of light is 4100-4300K is color temp.

It'* a thin line of blue... I have them in my Jeep. They do NOT glare more than any other light.
The blue is a lot dimmer than the white main beam.
Can't even see it on the road.

Daniel Stern Lighting is a great read & resource.

Yea, I agree, Selective Yellow, 3000K'ish color temp is still better for fog and snow. I have yellow fogs on my jeep now. Too bad they're too dim to do much. I plan on getting the new H3C HID kit for them. They're projectors, so the light will still have the nice sharp fog cutoff and wide beam, but just be about 3x brighter, and still yellow. Should work well.

I ordered some yellow bulbs for my hella'* today.
I have HIDs now too, but I dont want HID in my fogs and it is impossible to get a fog light/driving light bulb that isnt HID to match an acctual HID bulb. So I am going yellow in the fog spot.
