I don't see why you need that much light. The HID's in the headlights are enough. Then don't use the fogs cause you don't need them. I got the bullitt grille and don't miss the fogs at all with HID's on the corners. Now if I was just doing all halogens then I would put Silverstars in all of them.
There's a reason they call this a third world country.

I have 6000K HID headlights and got some 6000K HID fogs enroute to my home right now. I have no intention of running with all four on at the same time though. That would be waaaaay too much light. My fogs will be used for daytime runs (with headlights off) since they'll be mounted in my center fog grill. IMO, it just looks cool with just the centers on in the daytime. 
Now if only I could figure out a way to make the HID bulbs fit behind a center fog grill since the OEM bulbs already hit the sheetmetal behind them. I've already had to make some cuts in the sheetmetal for the standard bulbs but now with the HID bulbs not being bent 90 degrees I might have some trouble...hmmmm...

Well, most of you are lucky enough to live in a country where you take electricity for granted. Right now I'm using my laptop to entertain myself through one of our daily power outages, add to that the fact that 95% of roads here have no useful lights and you can see why I need them (that, and the aforementioned night runs :-)).
