Jeez jason........by all means ask, but have you ever actually looked at the FAQs?
There's all sorts of very useful info there incl some on HID's etc etc
Most seem to agree on 6000k as the best all rounder though!

But would it look bad with 6000k low beam and 8000k fog light? Also am I right the bulb type I need is H1 for low beam and fog light?

Thank you Sultan, Jim or nineball the bulb type that I need is H1 right. PLEASE I need your opinion, does it look good with 6000k low beam and 8000k fogs.

Yeah its h1....225 for both installed is a steal! Jump on that! Are they reputable or is that someone random doing it? Personally man go with the same kelvin temps for both. DO NOT MIX IT UP! It won't look right...the only thing that looks right would be going with like 3k or 4k for the fogs and 5k or higher for the main lights. Personally I'd go 6k and 6k. I have 6k and love it, I wanted more stock looking hid but now that I have 6k I'm totally glad I got them. They are the best compromise to blue and brightness. Here's a picture (from my camera phone please excuse the crappy pic) of my brights with regular bulbs and hids...

ok so I dont make a mistake on my order H1 Low beam 6000k (which I want) and H1 Fogs (6000k). Well the fogs and low beam are $146 and someone said they will install for $75. And its from mydepot guy.

Just keep in mind it might take them a while, the ballasts may break and it will cost 40 some odd bucks, and the guy there doesn't always respond promptly. Did you check through them about getting a deal on shipping or they won't? Once shipped it should only take 5 days at most...as long as those chinese shipping idiots could figure out how to ship! Overall nice lights though! Yeah the h1 is the bulb for both but for some reason they say its hard to mount hids into the fogs...I'm can't remember because it was a year and half ago when I changed out my fogs...sorry about that but yeah H1 for both and good luck!

If your looking for a different look for the fogs I guess go for a high k rating but to me I'd probably like it more uniform with the top matching the bottome kind of thing....go to your local wal mart or auto parts store and find a bulb for it...I just took mine out of the car and matched it up to what they had...
