also what should i do about my high beams? theyre still currently stock. :/
have 8000ks in the fogs, 6000k will give you the most light output. stay 35w for the fogs. i would leave your high beams alone, HIDs take time to warm up so I could see that posing a problem

you could look for some sylvania silverstar ultras, that will probably be your best bet

Yep! I run Silverstar Ultras for highs and lows. Eventually I'm going to swap my fogs out with Silverstars as well. They're pure white, whereas stock bulbs have a slight amber tint to them.
