Congrats to the OP on your purchase. 
I couldn't help myself. I bought the ACA Projector HID's for the lows. They arrived yesterday.
It's a BEAUTIFUL kit! For the fogs, I ordered the HID kit from "that alleged Bay seller". They are shipping now. All 6000K.
I'm not sure on what to do for the high beams. I am sure I will rarely, if ever, use them. I think maybe the Silverstar Ultras. Would HID's be overkill? My other concern is that the high beams cannot be adjusted independent of the lows.

if you have HID low beams you would not think that you could get more light, but every time I hit the HID highs its amazing to me just how much more I can see down the road. I do a fair amount of driving on an almost abandoned 4 lane highway in the middle of VA at night time, that's about the only time I can really use the HID highs, but they are fantastic! they light up deer eyes (and cop car graphics) from 2 miles away.

I have HID high and low beams and wouldn't have it any other way. you really should apply the high/low relay mod to keep the low beams on with the highs this way you always have light. otherwise when you go from highs to lows you will have to sit through the warm up period on your low beams for 10 seconds with factory-style lighting until they really brighten up.

I guess I need to buy another HID kit. 
The projector HID kit I bought for the lows already come wired to allow the low and high beams to be on together.

Nah, skip the HIDs on the high beams.
Your ACAs use a regular reflector for high beams and the light scatter will likely be huge in the high beam reflector.

Link please. I'm so tired of feeling like I can't see a darn thing at night. Not sure I need to the highs living here in so-cal but the lows are so useless on the C5 that I need to do something.
