Sure, I'll crawl under my dash tomorrow when I get home from work and take some pics of the led's.
The fog lights took about an hour. It would have been quicker but since I am planning to do a "how to" post, I did it the hardest way possible for those that may not have a garage or a jack. I did it by just turning the wheels instead of removing them. Either way, a very easy install.

Is there any danger or concern to going to the brighter lights (i.e. heat, power, etc.)? My lighting knowledge is not the highest.

I'm out of 4300k until early Dec. You can place the order still though. I will just hold it until I get more.
6k will give you a little more blue in the light. Not much, but looks really good IMO.
8k is blue. Not overly done, but it's blue.
There is no danger associated with swithing to HIDS. Stock halogen bulbs run hotter.
I have 4300k in one of my cars, 6000k in the C5, and 8000k in my other vehicle. I like the 6k the best, but 4300k is the brightest.

I would appreciate the pictures and the DIY. I have an LED light kit from a previous car that I will be installing inside. Plus need to place my order with JW for the HID Fog upgrade. Just need to decide on 4300k, 6k, or 8k?

I had 6k on a previous car and now 8k on this one. I would say the 6k are close to the color that Audi headlights put out. I will most likely be ordering the 6k for my headlights, but then again, the 8k look so darn good at night.

The bulbs are pretty hard to get out though. I used the same small screwdriver and took my time to pry it out slowly but I did read somewhere to take some painters tape (I imagine any tape would do the trick too) and wrap part of it around the bulb leaving enough leftover tape to use as a type of pulley.
