The low beam is the HID while the high/fog is halogen. you can upgrade the high/fog to a white light such as silverstars or just turn them off.

^^^-- above is right.. I think its an H2 bulb..

..pestilence..

 

Are silverstars HID lights, or are they just halogens that match the HID's color? And where does one find them?

silverstars are still halogens but i think xenon is added to the mix to help reach certain color temps. i think the silverstars are rated at around 4000K but still work at 55W. the sylvania silverstars have a blue tint to get that white color.
because they're halogen, they still use a filament that wear out a lot sooner than real HID's.. i think it's a good alternative though...

The reason the fog light is a yellow light is because it does not make anysense to have a white light shining on white fog. All that will do is cause a big white blanket it front of you. When you shine a yellow light on a white fog cloud you can see much further.

Its like a NAV or sunroof the use of them is very minimal. Although they serve cosmetic purposes for some people.

I agree that you don't want white light on a true fog, in fact most serious fog lights are yellow or amber in color.

I also like that the lights are different colors, I think its cool to see all three lights (HID, fog, and sidelight) lit up at night.

 

here in San Fran, sometimes you drive in very dense fog on the highway at cold nights.... it's at these times that the fog lights can really be appreciated..... trust me, it makes a difference.....

 

there is no way we can have a yellow fog and hid high beam without going to seperate fogs, correct?

correct.
The other trick is, getting the HID wired to the high beams only, and rewire the fogs as separate
