Hopefully your going to mount them in a projector housing and not blind everyone. Have you decided what color? 5k is like factory. 6k is slightly blue. 8k is really blue but the light output is low. 10k is purple. If your going to replace the housing then you will order the bulb to fit that.
 
The stock headlights are 9006 and 9005. With the fog lights being size H3.

You are definitely going to want to upgrade the headlights to a projector headlight to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. You can find HID kits from our supporting vendor, SharpHID: http://www.sharphid.com/.

Whatever aftermarket projector headlight you choose will probably have a different bulb size than the stock headlights, though.
 
Yeah that was the plan to upgrade I ain't a complete douche
 
Also, to correct griser, 4300k is like OEM halogen bulbs. It has a yellow tint to them, like halogens. 5000k would be pure white. 6000k is crystal white which has a tint of blue. You shouldn't need to worry about anything over that because anything over 4300k decreases light output and you might as well just keep halogen bulbs if you are going to go over 6000k. I am retrofitting 5000k in mine.

Also, be aware that if you use 55w ballast the color output should step down. So 6000k looks like 5000k and 5000k looks like 4300k. If you use 35w you will get the proper color for the bulb. I would say just get 35w.
