you can just get a kit try and see if you can find a plug n play one so you dont have to cut any wires

I did it last year. Works great but there's no plug and play - you have to drill out the back of the housings to run the HID wires. It's easy though - don't let the small amount of work dissuade you.

Not that I'm aware of but basically install the bulb, drill the back of the housing to route the bulb/ballast wiring, and connect the car's fog wiring to the blade terminals on the bulb wires. That's it really. It's a very straightforward job.

Nope - OEM fogs can take it no problem.

Color temp and power draw are not related. Some places sell both 35w and 55w kits - specify that you want a 35w kit in the color temp of your choice.
