i dunno but i like my own personal touch.
7600k in headlights.
as well as fogs. it's unique from the rest.
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.

Depends on your climate. If it's mostly sunny, the 6000K would do, but in bad weather (such as rain and snow), the higher Kelvin ratings (what the K stands for) would create glare in the snow, and decreased visibility in the rain due to it reflecting off the road, where lower K ratings would stand supreme. Therefore, that's the reason NO car [that I know of] comes stock with HID fogs; even the 745Li comes with halogen.

I would go with the 3000K HIDs, if you haven't seen what they look like PM Stupidrunner54... He has pics of his old stuff.

Yes the 3000k look is popular, but there are not very many that have the real 3000k HID in their fogs... that is still a very distinctive look...
