Yes, the H11 is the correct type of our low beam bulb so that is the correct HID conversion kit. Don't forget to cover the squirrle spotter also.
About the fog, please stay with the non-HID. Yes, you can get those 3000k for the yellowish look but make sure you stay within the 55w that came as stock. There was a member here installed a higher wattage (I think it was 85w) and he burned and melted his wire harness.
Good luck and have fun modding.
ps. I'm not HID guru but I felt compelling to answer your question.

4300K isn't yellow, it's white. Do you mean it's not blue enough for you?

My 4,350's have no yellow in them.

My 4,000's did have a yellow tint so I dumped them.

Are you referring to HID's or just halogen bulbs?

To me, 4300K has more yellow and 5000K is closer to "day light" color. Call it whatever you want.

Ok, then yes, 4300K for halogens would appear a bit yellowish.

This here is a pretty good representation, the bottom most bulb is 3000K.

If you're getting a HID, just don't drive behind me until you get proper projectors.

wow 4100 looks very yellow in the picture but it's not even close to that in real life. At night, your 4300k bulbs will have a blue tint to them since your eyes will have adjusted to the yellowish street lights

5000K is closer to daylight color.

READ WHAT I SAID! The bottom most bulb is 3000K, not 4100K.

I know it looks confusing, but thats the correct order.
