I like the yellow fogs, but i hate the fact that it blends in with the HID beam so I upgraded my low beams to 8K & fogs to 10k to try and match them. I had a hard time to match them becasue the projector omits a diffrent color even if their the same set. So ended up making the fogs a darker blue.

YES! Do not increase the wattage, you risk burning up your harness/housing.

Either do with stock wattage yellow bulbs or HIDs which are actually a lower wattage bulb but obviously require a ballast/ignition unit.
