It seems that the ML's foglights are very tame and civil. The foglight cutoff line is certainly below the low-beam cutoff. Looks excellent!
Correct, last picture is of the foglights alone. With both the fogs and lowbeams on the road brightens up quite well and I still haven't been hi-beamed so everything seems ok thus far. As for color difference, its seems that the lowbeams are bluer than the fogs and are probably due to the projector in the lowbeams. Will post the rest of the pictures tonight in a smaller format.

Just like factory xenon. They are obvious bluish but put out light that resembles natural sunlight (thus they put out more LUMENS than 6000K and above).

4300K is not yellowish; neither is 4100K which most BMWs have as OEM. Don't worry about yellowish light with anything 4000K and above.

Stock halogens which do look yellowish are rated in the 3200K region.
