Default Camaro SS HID's: Quick Questions

I'm about to order this raptor HID kit from DDM tuning. Is this what most of you guys are running?

http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/Ap...Raptor-HID-Kit

The camaro uses the 9006 bulb for the lows correct? Should I go 55w or 35w? I think i am going to go with 6000k unless you guys can convince me otherwise. I will also be buying the harness becuase its $12 and i don't want to risk not having it and then waiting for shipping again.

What do i run for the fog lights? Same kit? This will be for stock housings (I know how some of you feel about this, but this is only temporary)

Dont know about the fog lights but I have the 5000K color and the 55w kit for mine. Works great and had no problem with putting it in other than I had to get out the dremel and make a few adjustments to the plastic holder of the bulb. Guess the headlights that I bought had the housing on the back built for their bulbs.

Yes.

A 55W kit washes out some of the color as well. You will be fine with 35W.

Well after reading all the lawsuits and customer problems with DDM tuning I wouldn't go with them. I bought mine from stephen shaar at www.hiddirectllc.com. I went with the 55w 8000k, they are about the same color as my buddys 35w 6000k, But twice as bright!

Heres a pic for color reference.
