Sorry I missed your reply, I would go with a 35 watt they are really bright on the DDM kit, I ordered 55 watt 10,000K and they sent 35 watt balasts but the light output is better than my old 35 watt kit and very white even at 10,000K
heres what I think:
8000K will look blue when you look into the projectors but white on the ground, if you are doing projectors which I really reccomend
5000 is slightly yellow, 6000 is more white
you have a single bulb, not the dual (9007 where high and low are in one bulb), I would keep you halogen highs, and would not put HIDs in the fogs unless you get new housings with projectors
HIDs in fog light housings will be very blinding to other drivers

Oh and one last thing. On DDM'* page, there'* 2 different kinds of kits. Are there any significant differences between the 2?

that'* all I needed to know. For $35, you can't go wrong. How was the setup? I've never done an install and I'm planning on doing it myself. A shop around here (which I know the owner of) wanted $300 for the install of the headlights and fogs. I mean, it can't be that difficult right? Please say right. haha

Nah, just need to plug balasts into the headlight connectors, then plug the balasts into the bulbs
I would reccomend getting the relay harness so they won't flicker out when you are starting the car when they are on auto

I just re-read your post and have another question. Like I said previously, I go upstate a lot so that'* the reason why I want to change the hi-beams to HID as well. It gets really dark up there, especially where I go. How would I go around to doing that? I also looked for the relay harness and couldn't find anything. I feel like such a newbie right now

They have a relay harness on DDM, if not Ebay is good
You would do the same thing for the highs, another kit and a relay harness wouldn't be as critical for them but is still a good idea

Yep thats what you need, I would use a relay harness on the lows and fogs, not really needed on the highs
yep for each bulb you want to change to HID you will need a balast and bulb so you will need 3 kits to change everything
9006 for the lows, 9005 for the highs, and 880 for the fogs IIRC

I like Acura TSX projectors, they can be a little pricy but they are good projectors, I think there is a set of ClubGP for about $180 + shipping right now, but you can find them on Ebay for pretty decent prices
