You want functionality or do you want them for cosmetic purposes only?

yellow is the best for function and being a white car should look great!

i think the best colors for yellow fogs are: white, black, blue, red

I have yellow fog lights and I love it! But mine is more functionality because of the rain and fog in the NW.

This exactly- this is exactly the reason why I settled on 2500 K fogs after going through three different temperatures!

Both yellow or white look clean on a white car.

However, I second what the others are saying. If you need it for actual lighting reasons, go with yellow. If it's mostly looks, match the headlights and it'll look great either way.

Also if you do 150-300 miles a day totally worth every penny for the yellow bulbs

Wow 2500K? Do you have any pics? Mine is 3500K, kind of weak IMO. I wanted something more bright yellow but can't complain, since I got them for free. Lol

That's cool. I'm sure there's some pics somewhere online I can find.

^^ bumping this guy! I've been looking for suggestions on going yellow with my pre-lci sport bumper (weird light shape). Suggestions/options?

Can you achieve the same effect by going yellow with the bulb or the housing?

I have a 2011 e90. Is it just a bulb change to change my fogs from white to yellow?

Sure- most likely an H8 bulb. Be sure what bulbs you currently have or you could risk melting your housing.
