Yea, that's the kit I got. For the top I got the 55w 9006 in 6000k(almost all white due to the color wash out that they mention). For fogs I got H3 3000k (yellow). I had the 35watts for the top but then I exchanged them for the 55watts because it didn't feel bright enough since we got projector style low beams. Cars with reflectors should not get the 55watt ballast imo. Oh yeah, and they use the same bulbs for either the 35watt or 55watt ballast. The ratings on the bulbs can sustain higher power I guess.

To install the HIDS on the fogs I just used a wire connector with a tapper. Instead of actually taking out the fogs and opening them up to get to the positive and negative power connectors. Just crimp the bulbs positive wire to the positive wire on your foglight's harness and the negative to negative. Sorry don't have pics. But that was just my way for a quick install, and my fogs haven't failed me yet.

The connector with the quick tapper looks something like this.

There are different variations of the connectors though I didn't know if you needed this info or not but, there you go.

By the way, here's a thread for the fogs if you wanted to take them apart.
