For fogs, you could go a lower temp, around 4300K to 6000K. I'd stay away from anything lower than 4300K and over 12000K.

For the foglights, you might just have to go with the bulbs, then wire capacitors in yourself, if it will need those to keep them from flickering or getting the bulb out like the headlights.

Fog bulbs are 9006. The 3000k is color temp, not size. 3000k would be perfect for fogs. It will emit a nice Amber color which is what fogs are good for.
5K is almost Pure white. 6k starts to turn bluish. 10k is very blue. Higher gets purple colored.

As far as quoting something, do you mean to quote someone? If so, at the bottom of their post, there is a quote button, and press that to quote them.
To put a picture in your sig, sign up at Photobucket, then get the image code for the picture, then put it in your sig. Make sure to also resize the image so it's not so unGodly large.
