I'm interested in getting the HID setup for the foglights on my car? Do you guys happen to know how bright I should get them to match the headlights? Also do you know the size of the bulb that I will be needing? AND LASTLY, do you guys know of any good companies that carry them?

I got the 35w 6K in mine. You will need the 9006 bulb. They are bright!

does that temperature somewhat match with the headlights? I know it wont be perfect but I'd like it to look somewhat uniform. Also do you guys know of any error signals coming up on the I-Drive with these?

Get 6k headlights, too. The stock xenon's are 4k. 6K is really nice looking and pure white.

Yes, I replaced the xenon headlights, angel eyes, Solaris clear turn signal bulbs in front and sides, installed HID fogs, replaced rear lights with LCI model, and rear license plate bulbs.

I guess that means everything? lol

Thanks after doing a search on the solaris bulbs I'm going to purchase them from bimmian.com
