A lesson in physics will tell you
that in case you are using fog lights in the fog, yellow light is the best (and blue is the worst). So making your fogs look just like the xenons may look cool in all these 99% of cases where the fogs are being used for decorative / traffic annoying purposes, but it's not useful for those occasions they were actually designed for.

Correct... foglights are for others to see you coming
Not to help driving the fog. I've driven through some thick fog many of times so it helps other drivers to see you coming at them with a different color light, especially on a 2-way country road. Otherwise, white light coming at them can initially look like their own healight reflection if they're not paying attention.
The same goes for the rear B7 foglights, how they're much brighter looking than just the regular tail lights on. Ever drive on the freeway or highway at a certain speed and come up quickly to somebody who's going ultra slow in the fog? You don't see their tail lights until the last minute. But they're blinding to other drivers to have on when there's no fog out at night. Another reason for foglights to help other drivers see you on the road.
I'm the one who put the yellow bulbs into the foglights into a B7 a few posts down, but I don't ever drive with them on at night and I probably never will unless I it's foggy.
