The last picture is of your foglight cutoff line, right? If so, then I'm quite impressed.
On most cars, the foglights scatter light that often goes higher than the low-beam cutoff. And therefore, for most cars a HID conversion in the foglights results in horrific glare to oncoming traffic.
It seems that the ML's foglights are very tame and civil. The foglight cutoff line is certainly below the low-beam cutoff. Looks excellent!
Correct, last picture is of the foglights alone. With both the fogs and lowbeams on the road brightens up quite well and I still haven't been hi-beamed so everything seems ok thus far. As for color difference, its seems that the lowbeams are bluer than the fogs and are probably due to the projector in the lowbeams. Will post the rest of the pictures tonight in a smaller format.
Just like factory xenon. They are obvious bluish but put out light that resembles natural sunlight (thus they put out more LUMENS than 6000K and above).

Nice... so they are not yellowish like the 4300K...
