go for the 55w if you plan to go with a high rating (8000K and up). it'll help with visibility especially driving on they highways in the evening.

btw, it'll burn the wiring if you buy cheap HID's. it happened to mine and it damaged my projectors costing me $300 to replate them.

how did this damage the projectors? the heat from the burning wire? or the light bulb it self got too hot??

if you get any hid get the 35watt the difference between them and the 55w is very small and the 35w last longer


thanks for you input.. I've been hearing that alot but no one is that sure of how much longer or how quickly they will go out, just an average life span of them both.
