Actually when i took those pics i had the OEM bulbs, i recently changed to HIR bulbs but i'm not that impressed with the output. I'll be getting a 4300 kit as soon as i can afford it.

As for the fogs, i wanted to try yellow lighting. I've heard how well it does in bad weather so i wanted to see if they really work. Sad part is we've only had a few days of rain in so cal and rarely any fog (at least in my area) For the fogs output, the yellow light doesn't seem as bright initially, but it does seem to light up some things better than others.

The bulbs i got, luckily, were 55 watts. I wanted to go for luminics or nokya because they're all over, but they are more like 75+ watts, and I'm using stock wiring(k2motor fogs). I've dealt with too many melted wiring harnesses in my 96 accord to go back to those types of bulbs. Dannn found that site and i tried it out. The bulbs were under $10 SHIPPED, and so far there's still no problems and the fogs look great! It's slightly greenish at some angles so it gets a lot of attention.

When you toggle highbeam without your low beams on do your low beam go on as well? I have noticed if I toggle my highbeam with low beam off both of them comes on. Not sure if it was because of the HID. (I use to to measure my distance to the front of the parking wall.)

Here are some quick snaps of my 4300k with a 20d. I used iso800 with auto white balance on. The color of the lights in the pictures is pretty accurate and the intensity is pretty dead-on as well. I promise better pics when I have more time.
