Best route is to buy a high-quality aftermarket kit and convert your halogens using that.

Here are a few other threads on the topic:zerothread?id=292076http://forums.nicoc ... ?id=319269

Yes, unless they're included in the main kit.

Many people have done kits but keep in mind the 6th gen has different projectors for HID vs. Halogen. You get a decent cutoff putting a HID kit in the halogen projectors but the light output is bad compared to a real HID projector. To buy the whole housing is crazy expensive but I have seen the projectors on EBAY a few times.

And yes you will need a separate kit for the fogs, H3.
