Not sure on the temp, but the 13' HID's OEM bulbs are supposed to be 4300K from what I've heard. I got the 5K bulbs from DDM and they match my 13's LED fogs pretty good.

^^ at a trade off of lessened output.

Given that you have factory HIDs, there wouldn't be a better option other than a projector retrofit.

won't be any brighter, but the light output will be significantly better. as far as available headlight technology, they are the best.

HID conversion kit for the fogs would work. I have used DDM tuning to great success. 4300k would match the headlights. for the front turn signals, you can, but you'll need an aftermarket replacement housing that isn't amber in color.
