i will go with 6000k

as far your fog lights, i dont know what type of fogs you got on your car right now if they are *clear or yellow*
i will put 3000k hid in the fog's

as far as your city lights, hyper white or blue, or any color you like get led's
the bulb size is 194#
you can pick them up in any part store or order them online
they are about 5-10$ very easy to install

THanks bud.

If you've got clear fogs, go with a matching (5000k from xenondepot) kit; if yellow fogs and you like them you can leave them or go with a 3000k kit to make them alot brighter. If you want to go from yellow to clear it's not hard to break out the yellow sleeve or trade them for clears in the classifieds.

I had LED's from warden_jp2002 or something similar on Ebay in my city lights for a while and they were brighter than anything else I tried. They didn't match my HID's but I'd think they would be a good match for your new bulbs.
