I was looking at ddmhid and i see on the site they have like 5 different kits. I was thinking about the bixenon kit. Is this the right kit or does it matter? Which number for color is the brightest or does it not matter? Should i upgrade to 55w? What about the relay harness/LBF modules? Also can i use the same balasts for high beams too? Sorry i am new to HID's and anything you can tell me will help me lots.

That's the beauty of the HIR bulbs, they last just as long as standard halogen and are the same wattage.
