Before anyone else says it:

1. Your fog lights are for fog. Bad fog, where it's not safe to drive more than 15 or 20mph.
2. Yellow is the best colour bulb to have for visibility in aforementioned fog. Not white, and especially not blue.
3. Because they're solely for improving your visibility in pea soup fog, if they work it doesn't matter what they look like.

Of course, if you're one of the brigade who either can't tell the difference between foglights and DRLs, or you think it looks good to have them on all the time, then disregard the above. Get some nice purple HIDs and go for it.
