Need Help Deciding HIDs

Ok I have a 02 Max that comes with stock HIDs (as u all already know) but i want to get HID foglights....I dont know if i should get the 6000K or the 4xxxK to match the headlights......I know i could get the 6000k bulbs for the headlights then get the same rating for the fogs but what i have heard is that the higher the rating the more bluish tint but less output u get.....So i was wondering what u guys have noticed if any with the swap of the stock HIDs to the 6000k and which 1 u would go for.

1 Match the rating of the stock HID headlights
or
2 Get the 6000k bulbs for the headlights and 6000k HID kit for the fogs

I think you should go with the 6000k HIDs for headlights and fogs. Take a look below.

If you get the 4300 kit you dont have to buy any headlight bulbs to match since the stock ones are 4300 already. Thats a plus in my book lol
