What would be the best HID/Xenons for my 98 Avalon?

I just got in an accident, so I'm replacing my front end and I was wondering what would be the best deal/quality bulbs for my Avalon. I want something like PIAA's and I want to replace the regular, high beams, and fog lights. If someone could give me some links to some lights, that would be really appreciated. Thanks guys.

Try theses

Hye, I got a 96 avalon with the 98 headlamps. I have for the low beams, HID PLUS for SPW INDUSTRIES, 4100k. These look great and it gives out the best light! For the high beams, I have some HELLA 9005 100watts bulbs, $20.38 from courtesyparts.com, its a nissan wholesale place. These suckers are bright. Compared to my old SILVERSTAR, these are about 1.5x brighter. Don't go for those PIAA crap man. I tried that, and visiblity goes out the door. Looks cool but you can't see crap. Also if you planned to go HID, no cheap ASIAN brand. Colors are usually two diferent temp(i.e one bulb 4100k, the otehr 5000k). Look for only phillips or osram. Catz are the same as osram. If you want looks, 6000k=purple, 7k=blue 8=diamond white, anything above these are crap! Take my advice stick with the 4100k!

Thanks for the help, but I'm really looking for either purple or blue lighting, or really low whites that have a bluish hue to them. I'm really looking to match my fathers 2003 525i lights, but for cheap. Anyone else know about anything I could get?

The only way your gonna get the look of a 525i HID is by getting HID, all the other HID look lights are pretty s h i tt y. BTW you would also need to use projectors to get his look, no straight halogen retrofit will give you the cutoff that he has. Check out www.HIDforum.com for more stuff on HID they may have a solution for you.
