yellow fogs??

newb question: why does every one seem to like yellow fogs?
do they acctually help more with light output?
or do ppl just like the way they look
cause i was thinkin 8000k fogs...(i know...higher temp, lower light output...but already have 5000k headlights)

Some people like the contrast? Fashion? I don't know.
Personally I like the headlight and fogs to match.

I considered the match of headlights and fogs or going higher in color, but it looked a little plain compared to the yellow for some reason....but wanted to try something to differenciate the two and still keep a clean look...

I ended up going with yellow bulbs but clear housing

jdm is NOT the answer in reality
european cars use them as well
they glare less in real fog
so they work better for the purpose

jdm isnt always mean its from jdmarket.. when people say jdm..it could mean its from jdm/or because lot of Japanese imports use yellow fogs as looks/accessories MORE than others.. europeans dont really use yellow fogs as much as jdm.. soo its jdm.. either you like it or not.. and i think BlackCivic07 was asking based on people with 8thcivics or jdm cars..
