Recommendations for e90 Mtech foglights bulb

I now have an m tech front bumper for my e90 and am shopping for new 9006 bulbs. I was thinking of putting in yellow luminics bulbs, but think it might look tacky and very "lexus" like, although it has the benefit of cutting through rain and fog better. What do you guys think of this look on a black e90? I also have the luminics ultra white and pure blue in mind but not too sure how these would look with the stock xenon low beams. Any recommendations on what looks best on my black e90? Is pure blue 9006 luminics really blue, or is it a perfect match to the xenons?

Please let me know which fog light bulbs you are running and your thoughts on them. Thanks

For me, I didnt want to waste my time and go throw a bunch of different sets of bulbs to try and get them to match the headlights/angel eyes.... So I went with the Luminics JDM Yellow bulbs, then switched to 3000k HID fogs.

I used Luminics Krypton Series (Ultra White/5150K)

But I have 8000K xenons, and they don't match as well.........I'm thinking Nokya's next.

The Luminics would be a closer match to OEM xenons, which I believe sits right around 4350-4500K?
