Yes. You need D4S bulbs.

Would colors be off if I had 6000k d4s and get a 6500k kit for my foglights?

I'd personally get all the bulbs from the same company and in the same color temp. to try and match them as well as possible. The setup you're wondering about may match well or it could be noticeably off, depends on who you got the bulbs from among other factors. I'd play it safe and save yourself the trouble of potentially ending up with something that doesn't match and having to switch them again.

Yes the colors will be off, you will have a D4S system in the headlights that are meant for outputting HID light, with cheap kit bulbs.

Then you will have a cheap mercury based kit in the fogs at a higher kelvin rate, that were meant for halogen output.

Good luck!

You can find the 6000k bulbs listed here:

http://www.kbcarstuff.com/Xtreme_HID.../xt-d4s-6k.htm

They will be a direct replacement for your OEM HID bulb.

Make sure to type in "CLGB08" as the coupon code to save $30/bulb.
