Fog lights help a bunch on any vehicle. I always thought a nice mix was maybe a 5000K low beams mixed with 3000k fogs. With those light spectrums mixing it provides you with great light output. I'm not saying that every car looks good with this mix, but I've seen alot of light on the ground when this is done. Good luck on your search for more light.
