Looks like your average eBay HID kit. Several of us here have them, and install is a breeze. No need to remove the bumper, either.
Althought you will want to remove the batter, the plastic engine cover that the oil fill cap goes through (if your car has it) and pull a few lines and hoses out of your way to make life easier.
I suggest you do what I did.. have a few people over, order some pizza, have some beer, good times. It's a fun but relatively easy project.

Nobody can really answer that quite yet! Have you seen spartans pics of the 8k? Nobody on here has a 6k kit! Mine that is coming is a 6k so wait a minute and let me install my kit so I can get some pics up! I want the lights to look stock so I went with the 6k I would have went with the 5k if they had them...not many companies have them but I've seen them....4300k was what I would have went with had someone else had a set! If the 6k are too blue I'll probably get some lesser ones and put the 6k in the fogs if its too blue but I'm hoping it is a median between the 4300 and 8k! Well see though hopefully they get here like monday or tuesday so I can slap em in there!

I left the original bulbs in my high beams. I never use them, and don't want to spend more money on something that I might use for a combined time of 10 seconds a month. I'd rather put that money into my "just in case something else breaks" fund.
However I would like to do something about the fogs. I do like the "Ion Yellow" fog light bulbs that give off a super yellow but bright light, like on newer Lexus cars. I think the blue HID and intense yellow fog light combo is quite attractive when seen in person.

Oh yeah for sure! My buddy has a set of (I think) pilot or pella or something like that that were like $70 bucks and they weren't hids but they had a yellow tint with a rainbow effect...they look awesome but the hids are the same price! I knew exactly what my buddy was trying to do and I know what you want! If these hids weren't so cheap I'd just buy a set of those regular halogens my buddy has as they are actually really nice!

Think they were these exactly actually...they don't look as dumb as they do on this guys pic they actually look sweet...
Yellow lights on ebay
I'll have to check with my buddy...

If the yellow hids are the same price though as the 6k I'd go with the yellows 310! Thats what I might do if I end up liking it enough and can figure out a way to get some more money...

Never heard of those...the sylvania silverstars look better than the stock sylvania halogens I know that...compared to others that are bluer though they do not compare. I had a set of I think 80 or 100 watters that looked awesome but those aftermarket bulbs blow in your low beams for some reason....your fogs you can pretty much put whatever you want in and your good to go...
