9140 (your 06) and 9145 (my 02) share the same base that is the equivalent to H10. The difference is the wattage of the bulbs 9140 is about 40w and the 9145 in my truck is 55w I have read that people that have put the 9145 in 9140 fog start to have some discoloration and slight melting. But I know that the HID kits from DDM are 35w or 55w so if you order the H10 35w in 3k-12k you should be ok. I have 4500k 35w H10 in mine and they work fine and look great.

Be careful when buying "cheap". Many have posted here with problems after buying cheap kits. Recently, one person had trouble with their headlight wire harnesses getting damaged.

Use an H13 dual filament headlight, and an H10 in your fogs. You're almost definitely going to need a relay kit for the heads to keep them from flickering on startup.
Let me know if you have any questions, for I'm in the industry and try to help forum members out as much as possible.
Good luck.
Ps- avoid the dirt cheap kits as much as possible, trust me.

Order your HIDS both Headlamps and Fogs from Jon_To on this forum, he's a vendor. I bought my Headlamp kit from them. Its such a great kit, very easy to install, everything has a place to be put. I had a problem w/ 1 of the headlamp relays. They sent me a new one and paid for shipping for it, plus the return of the original. I got my Hi/Lo kit for 110. Ordering my fogs next week. I highly recommend. Here's a link to his info:
