Ugh.

3000k is yellow. And should only be used in fogs. I'd get 5000k bi-xenon for your headlights.

I think you're confusing HID with LED.

The one on the left is the stock halogen bulb. One the right is the 4500k HID bulb.

Unless you spend time to do retro there is no other option and there are some bulbs you can get that do just as good. My headlights have been realy dim since the day I bought the car so I might just go HID so I don't have to F with it. You think it wouldn't be that hard for manufacturers to make decent replacement housing but I don't think anyone has tested them. Most I think are made by ANZO.

its not hard, take the bumper off and look inside. you should be able to see where you need to cut.
Just dont cut everything out like some poeple do and screw your bumper up.

I got a head/fog set off eBay that included instructions on how to cut your fascia for fogs. Haven't done it yet (f'n lazy!) but I'll try to post up here for ya.
For posting, go to whatever main catagory you want to be in; lighting, suspension, whatever. @ the top of the list of posts there is a button that says 'New Topic' that you click on. Should walk you through it from that point.

Thats fine. The 3rd prong is only for the high beams.

Connected ground to ground, then plug the second into one of the 2 left over ports. Turn it on, if it doesnt, switch it over.

Do you have your hid's have hi beams?

Stick them in and see if they turn on.

it only has 2 prongs because you lose high beam functionality with most cheap drop in hid kits.

edit: damn beat me to it lol
