5000k fogs and 6000k headlamps would be fine. I wouldn't go 3000k for anything, at worst 4300k, but thats up to you.
You are correct, BTW... bi-xenon have two filaments in the same glass tube or have a shielding that changes the angle of the light. Non bi-xenon, but still "dual element" bulbs, will have a low beam HID fused or glued with a regular halogen high beam. That is poor quality stuff there, and never works well compared to bi-xenon. Bi-xenon is far worth it.
The proper listing on DDM's site is 9004 Hi/Lo. The 9004 listing is for a single element bulb, low beam only, IIRC. You'd get that if you had a 1999-2001 Sport model with quad headlights, along with 9007s (as opposed to 9007 Hi/Lo, which is what 3rd gen Rams use).

DO NOT get 55 watt HIDs for your main lights. Only get those for off road lights. 35w for everything except off road type lights. 35w are very bright, 55w will be blinding to oncoming traffic, no matter how you have it aimed, even on low beams.

According to Sylvania's lamp replacement guide, you need bulb type 880. You'll find it listed on DDM's site right below the 9007s.
