real newbie to this i need your advise
So I just bought my self an 03 TLS 
. I love the stock HIDS they are great now what do you guys/gals think I should go with the 3000k hid yellow setup or somewhere in the area of 4500-5300k?? .I'm looking to buy soon but not rushing in to it. I dealt with HIDS on all my other cars just don’t want to screw it up and make this look ricy. her is a pic I took on my trip to Canada. I'll post the rest when Acura gives my car back after replacing all the recalls.

Welcome to the site. Beautiful ride. You might want to think about the Lexan fog lenses to protect those aftermarket bulbs you will be putting in. Our OEM glass fog bulbs traditionally break.

I'm putting 3000K yellow bulbs on mine. I like the 4500K also because it closely matches OEM, I'm like you don't want ricey or to be blinding anyone either.

Welcome to the forum. 
As for the fog lights, it's totally your call. Some people like to go with 3000K for the yellow shade, some like to match the headlights at 4300K, and some like to go higher for a blue or purple look. It all works, mechanically and electrically speaking; it's just a matter of personal preference.
Like ProvidenceLeaf and TLsu mentioned, you should probably look into the lexan lenses, or the clear film protection.
