You will be fine with the 6k low beam and adding a 4-6k fog HID mod. If you have issues, you can level down the headlight composite housing easily. The fogs do not produce a lot of oncoming glare, so no worries.

Fog light HIDs are very blinding.
You may not think that they are, but further away from drivers on the other side of the road, you will experience heavy dazzling
And I see a lot of that, since I live in NYC.

THEY DO BLIND, DEPENDENT ON THE HOUSING. Just because they're down low doesn't mean light doesn't bleed upwards in a reflector housing.

Besides, foglights are only to really disperse light in the forefront of the car to help with adverse weather. If your fogs are helping you see down the road, it's DEFINITELY BLINDING OTHERS.

in fact, having light right in front of the car results in more reflecting off the road and going back into your eyes which causes eyestrain and reduces your vision down the road where it matters.
