Default Fog lights - HID

I read all the posts and it looks like it has been done a few times, but I just wanted to clarify what is the best kit to get, company and all.
I want it to match the factory headlights, and from what I read 5000 should be the right number to get. Most kits are 6000 .

Believe it or not, co-workers 2011 Jeep Cherokee went up in flames while idling in Home Depot parking lot. Jeep was destroyed and now insurance company is investigating what caused the fire.

I just want to get a good company product other members on this forum used. I want it to match factory headlights.

Thank You
Dave

I've also bought about 10 sets from HIDXtra and maybe had one or two issues over the years. They were quick to resolve them (mainly bad ballasts)

If you want to match your stock HIDs, I would get the 5000k or 4300K. If you decide to switch out your OEM HID headlight bulb to 6000K, do not get the 6000K fogs b.c they will not match (the fogs will be too blue)

It went up in flames because of HID fog lights or just because?
