Well, you could spend some money and get Phillips or Osram. I wouldn't spend the extra cash on Osram. I have them and they're great but I'm only using it because they were free

Philips or Osram as above - or MTec HID for the headlights (that's what I have had for years with no problems)

For the fogs - HighPerformanceBulbs (forum sponsor) sells a great HID kit that is PnP & again, I have used them for years with no problems

here is a sample shot of MTEC D1S 6k, great output it will never blow your OEM ballast like ebay D1S bulbs

pretty sure you're looking for a complete HID kit to replace your halogen bulbs. I wouldnt recommend you having HIDs with halogen housings. I would get some projectors first.

you can get bulbs that try to imitate 6000k but it will never truly be that color.

These are your best but but will not be 6000k
