I got 8000k HID kit for low beam only, i bought yellow xenon bulbs (not HID) for my fogs which are built into my headlights as you said but it's not even close to light as much as my HID kit.
Next summer i plan to buy fog light grilles like these and put a yellow HID kit (3000k) :

AUDI A4 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 fog light lamp grille:eBay Motors (item 170378435780 end time Dec-30-09 12:46:00 PST)

It would look like this ...

Defenetly. I am getting HID in stalled this week in a day or two for my lowbeams. And the grille once are definitely a must, but im thinking of getting a body kit also which wont have fog light place so i think i might not need them. Is there a way to get blue bulbs for my fog or like red? RED!!! that would look god with my ride's colour

And also, anyway you can take a pic of the way yours look with HID and xenon bulbs?
Also what are the bulbs i need, size and stuff. The magazines in Canadian tire and others indicate for the grille fogs.

I like the fog lamp grille but they seem expensive considering the fact that I'm probably going to upgrade to a B6 sometime next year.

I wonder if I can get away with 255 40 OR 35 18s (18x8.5) on the stock B5 suspension with S6 rims.

~sumnom, you can't tease like that. Post up some proper pictures of the car.
