I would match the lows, I used to have 3k fogs, looked cool as hell on black but the look on the road is kind of weird. You have that definite patch of yellow and then white. 4300 is not a good color, might as well stick with stock halogen. I can say 3K is awesome for showing potholes and bumps in the road, it provides a nice contrast. Works well obviously in fog. Haven't had the opportunity to use them in snow but I would guess the benefit would be the same.

194/168 bulb, Its the parking light/city lights.

When your headlights are on, these lights are on as well.

The first notch in your light switch, is the parking lights.

the vleds 5smt will match whatever hid color you decide to go with the best, the 'more smt diode' types wont, so YES they will work.
