haha too late for me... but yeah, it should look good with everything matching. post pics after! how much are you spending on the fogs? the 6000k fogs shouldn't be priced more than the 4300k fogs. if anything, maybe $20.
XenonDepot is having a GB right now for hid kits, the parking light leds should be like $10 and it seems that you can get the bulb replacement for anywhere between $150-250 depending on where. so based on this, from stock to 6000k, you could replace the whole front lighting for $600-700.

The difference between the 4300K and 6000K kits for the fogs is about $80. Since I'm buying and installing from the same place I do save a bit on the installation charge and they will also be changing out the other bulbs for me. To get the 6000K D4S bulbs shipped up here I figure it's close to $400.

Changing out the bulb wouldnt do anything to your wiring. The only time you maybe have a problem is if your car isn't equip with HID from the factory and you put an aftermarket KIT in the car. If you have a kit you might need a wiring harness but most of the time people don't. The reason is because the ballast draw a lot of current on start up and your non-hid car wiring might not be strong enough for it.

Hahaha... that's the funniest thing I ever heard..
No, changing your HID bulbs with the same Wattage won't burn your wires/harness.
I'm not sure if xenon velot D4S bulbs are really 6000K though..
i often go to hidplanet.com forums, and some said they are just the same 4300K, but some others think they are 6000K. Hmm...
