Since you're going to be running stock HID low beam, I suggest you get some 3000k because if you get 6000k, your low and fog would not match. If you get a set (low and fog), 8000k is nice. Look at my sig, its 8k both.

ok thanks , im going to promax on monday the place you suggested they said 300 install so imma do it there, just now deciding what color to get, i know if i get 3k i cant go wrong, because most white car get yellow fogs anyways it look nice and classic, so 3k is it?? i need more opinion, so for sure 6k would look way off than my stock bulb??

The 6000k will be more blue than your stock for sure. I had 5000k done for my ML at promax and it was way bluer than oem 4300k. Unless you get 6000k fogs and low. I wouldn't suggest it. We'll see what others say.

IMO if you had yellow fogs before and you like the look of it then, I think you should def. get the 3000k. Give it a nice clean, classy look on a white car. Personally, I think you should only upgrade to higher temp if you decide to change your OEM HIDs to a higher temp to match. I had 8000k for fogs and 6000k for my lows. It looked ok for awhile but just gets to me that it didn't match so took them out.

get 5000k and upgrade your low to 6000k later. It always okay for the low to be a bit bluer than the fog. Or you can get 4300k for the fog right now, 4300k is the best match for the stock low. I'm planning to get the 4300k for my fog soon.

Im getting my kit in about a week and its perfect!!! Honestly, if you can put connectors together and remove a few bolts and screws, I wouldnt pay someone $300 for the install. Its a lot easier than you know.
