Where is the best place to get the HIDs and exactly what size bulbs are needed?

I have 4300k in my low beams and 6000k in my foglights. I usually never run them at the same time unless I'm on my way home because the road is dark. It looks like daylight.

The K number is the color temp. It is not the brightness (well not directly, I'll explain). 4000K - 5000K is the brightest and whitest. Continuing up the color scale, the light gets bluer then purpler and the lumens output (the actual measurement of light) decreases. In other words, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K HID kits are dimmer than a 4300K HID kit. Our eyes are least sensitive to blue light. Blue light also scatters more easily. In the end, we can see better with a 4300K HID kit for many reasons.

5000K is what I have. Appear more white than 4300K and less blueish than 6000K. Pure white is what I get. I've had 8000K on the hawk before and I sport 6000K on the busa still.

I bought a cheap 6000k HID conversion kit from ebay for the low beams on my camaro, they look great and are just as bright as my halogen high beams. Next comes the 6000k HID conversion kit for the fogs and I'm set.
