I suggest looking through the classifieds on this forum and/or checking out the websites the vendors have setup (ie. fteightysix, ft86speedfactory, diode dynamics etc.)

To answer your question about the yellow vs white or clear. The yellow is supposed to be less reflective against the rain. Now a days, I think people do it now just for looks. I personally have clear and they work great in my opinion. I've got 6k in my headlamps and 6k in my fogs.

That's not what foglights are for. And they don't actually improve night vision. They brighten up the road directly in front of you which actually reduces your distance vision in the dark. If you want a reasonable amount of light down lower, aim your headlights down a little bit.

If it's just for looks, that's fine, but if it's for safety that's a little bit misguided.

I bought my HID kit here. Very nice kit.

Fog lights are down low because fog is typically much, much thinner in the few inches above the road, so when all your headlights are doing is lighting up the fog in front, switch to fog lights and crawl.

Try sending the guy a PM. He might still give it to you. He saved me a bit on the shipping after talking a bunch to him. Nice guy.

I'd probably go with these if they came in 6000k.

Lots of fog light kits for sale in the Classifieds section:

I'd like to second this. I did a full LED conversion and HID for lowbeams from Diode Dynamics, and it looks great. What is even greater is their excellent customer service. Shipping was very fast - I live in Canada and the most it took for any shipping was 5 business days. They even have a points system that actually works and at the least covered my international shipping expenses.

If you buy from DD you're gonna get two things. Quality made products, backed by their amazing customer service. If you have any problems with their products you'll get a replacement in no time. You'll have peace of mind purchasing from these guys, and definitely no nightmares to deal with.
