Default Canyone help me out with HID lights?

Im new to the whole HID light thing. A few of my friends are getting HID's put on there trucks and I like the way they look. I have a 2009 2wd Lariat Crew Cab. Can anyone help me with some headlight bulbs and fog light bulbs? I dont know if some are illegal or whatever but Id like to put some that are legal. Thanks for the help!

Well they are if u run them in reflector housings'
I had 15k(purple) and 30k(pink) both in relfector housings got pulled over bc they are not "white" and were in reflectors.
My brother has 6K(white with a hint of blue)and he also got pulled over by a state trooper and got told he couldnt have them bc they were illegal and in reflector housings.
