Default Re: HID Install Lows and Fogs with Pictures

I am interested in having my 2 lows and 2 fogs switched to HID. Do I simply purchase two of these kits (1) with H7 (low) bulbs and (1) with 9006 (fog) bulbs? (There are 2 other lights on the sides of the lows, like in the upper corners; I am not sure what they are called but do they need to be HID as well or are they fine as stock)

Also, I am having trouble deciding between the 5000k and the 6000k. My crossfire is Alabaster (White) so I am inclined to have my HID lights "white" as opposed to "blue-ish" I have heard that the 5000k is the BRIGHTEST but how bright? Is the 6000k a better option so I don't have to worry about blinding opposing traffic?


Finally, just so I don't get completely ripped off, what is the price range, I should expect to pay for installation at an automotive shop?
4300K is the whitest, 5000K has a tinge of blue and 6000K is even more so.
Whitest = brightest.
