I went with the Hoen Xenonmatch Titaniums (H7) for the high beam and just the regular Xenonmatch (9006) for the fogs. The high beam on the passenger side was a pain in the **** to install because of the limited space. You really don't have to completely remove the retaining clip which makes the job more difficult if you do remove them in my opinion. You just need to unplug the cable with a sharp yank from the harness and not the wires and then unlatch the clip. Once that's done the bulb just comes out. The fog lights are the easiest. You just turn your steering wheel completely one way and open up the access panel and then unclip the cable and then twist and turn the 9006 bulb out. Turn the steering wheel completely the other way and repeat the process. Now on to the pics...

Here's the McCulloch 6,000K HID kit installed with the OEM fog bulbs (notice how yellow they are):
