I have 6000k HID4U kits in both headlights and foglights (H13 bixenon in heads, 9145 in fogs). I am also lifted like you. I have had them for 1.5 years with no issues.
1) make sure you buy an extra wiring harness separately for your foglights...you need one. The bixenon kit comes with one.
2) DO NOT run the fog lights around town. You will get pulled over. The fog housings have nothing directly in front of the bulb, they are stupid bright with HIDs. I only use the fogs when i am out in the country or offroad. You will be able to see plenty well with just the headlights on. (josiah is lifted and said hes gotten multiple tickets for HID fogs).
3) Aim them way down or else it will be ridiculously bright and people will flash you all night long. I haven't been flashed in months since i re-aimed mine.
4) i recommend doing the procedure to eliminate the headlights from turning on when you push the remote unlock button on your key. The constant ignition of the ballasts when you unlock at night is extra wear/tear on them. Search in the 04-08 section for a thread about how to do this.

Got mine from HID4U... might not be to well versed in English though:
Had one ballast go... sent him an e-mail stating the problem, his reply:
"YOUR ADDRESS SHIP NEW"
So I gave him my address and within a week he sent me two brand new ballast. Then I figured out the relay wasn't grounded properly so the original ballast was still good.
I've got backup ballast now, good enough warranty for me.

If you want more of a clear white color stay with 5K~6.5K.
8K will have a light blue and more blue as it goes up 10K, and 12K.
I use a 6K and loved it. 8K looks nice but didn't want to deal with being pulled over because of the blue headlights.
