55w 4300k or 5000k HID Retrofit with projectors and 35w 3000k in the fog lights.

But don't cheap out on your bulbs and ballasts. I'm going to have to replace mine whenever I have the money.

I've been drooling over you tumblr feed. Did you just replace the bulbs to get the yellow fogs?

Haha, thanks. A lot of money and busted knuckles has gone into that. I did bulbs and had to add ballasts, I ordered a cheap Xentec set off of eBay. The fogs actually didn't come on the truck, I added them and ran all my own wiring to a nice clean looking black metal button in the dash since I couldn't get the factory wiring to work. I was suprised because the fogs actually had a sharper cut off than the headlight reflectors, and the yellow isn't excessively bright like the white and blue ones everyone use are. I wouldn't recommend them for your low beams, but they help a ton for the fogs.

I bought ge nighthawks a while back. Couldn't believe how much better they were than what I had. Wish I'd done it a year earlier.

Osram H7 Nightbreakers for main and dipped beams. Alternatively Xenon H7 bulbs or Xenon H7 HID's the latter being the most expensive.

In my 2001, I was able to drop in some Hella H-4 bulbs in 55w/100w. They work just fine and really are a big improvement on high beam. I got them at Amazon for $12 each.
