unless you have other lights on the front with yellow lenses id skip that.
go with clear lens and a fog bulb if you want yellow. id go with a high quality white bulb for fog/driving lamps.

for HID color id stick between 4200K (nice bright pure white) - and 6000K (slightlty less bright and bluish) any higher K and light output drops off quite a bit.

check with your local laws on the lighting color. i had a buddy that had a blue tinge to his headlights and the cops would harrass him on a nightly basis. they'd pull him over and hold a piece of white paper in front of the light.... if there was any blue seen, slapped with a ticket for illegal lighting.

Well if you have HALO's, I would go with either a 4300K HID setup for the headlights and run some yellow bulbs for your fogs. I think the pure white would look good with the red body and the yellow for the fogs gives a nice contrast, like how the IS300 Headlight/Foglight setup looks. Good luck
