Default Best fog light setup?

I want to see some of y'alls setups for your fog lights (preferably yellow), any car.
I'm in the market for a new setup because I'm not really satisfied with my current fogs. Right now I'm running 55w 2500k Nokya bulbs with a yellow overlay. They're not quite bright enough for me so I'm thinking of going back to some 3k HID's. First I want to compare mine to what some other people have.

It's gonna be hard to tell in a picture, but a 3000k setup will look just like yours except brighter.

I highly recommend 4300k HID for fogs though. It's a really nice tint and isn't as "tuner" as 3000k. But if you're going for the "tuner" look then go for it.

3000k yellow varies depending on brand and ballast

Here are my different setups since I bought my car. I tried almost every color bulb except purple and pink.
From left to right (6,000K CREE LED H11 BULBS, 5,000K H11 MORIMOTO HID BULBS, 3,000K GOLDEN YELLOW HID BULBS FROM EBAY )
On the last image I am using the same 3,000k ebay HID bulb using a different ballast. the cheap ballasts don't have the capacity to ignite the bulbs to their full brightness giving them the Hi-Liter green/yellow look.
If you use a high quality ballast then the bulbs will ignite to their full brightness and give them that pure yellow look. stay away from the 55w ballast on the fog light because they cause way too much glare, so much that you wont be able to appreciate it.

Cool thanks guys. I'm thinking I can use the 3k HID's (I have an old set laying around for now) and I can buy better ones later.

@biglilsteve I do want the "tuner" look, I like the look plus they're great for visibility.

@KILLER I see what you're talking about on that last pic, good advice. I'll probably be buying a set from Diode Dynamics so I probably won't have that problem.

I am running a

4300k 35w Morimoto HID kit in the heads
4300k 55w Morimoto HID kit in the fogs

I had that setup in the picture but with 3000k bulbs from DDM that went bad and finally put in my 4300k bulbs in the fogs but haven't been able to take a picture of it yet
