Default hid

I read a lot of guys went to ddmtuning for the hid for their headlights. What's the difference between 35w and 55w? I was thinking then35w and 6000k. Also I would like to change my driving lights (round ones in my bumper) as well. What do you suggest?

Not doing it. Without the proper projector headlight housings, all you will be doing is blinding oncoming drivers.

well your headlights and drl's are one and the same. You said your headlights and driving lights. I'm referring to headlights.

i have the 55w bixenon 6000k 9004 kit in my headlights, and the 35w 6000k 880 kit in my fog lights.

bought from ddm tuning. you will need an hid relay harness to run the hids in the fog lights.

I have the 55w 8000k for my lows in my sport and I don't even have high beams hooked up and I have 35w 6000k for my fogs and I love them you need the relay kit for the higher wattage kit. I have got all my stuff from ddm and haven't had any problems if u have any questions call them and they will answer them.

While we're on this topic, could I buy new hid kits for my projectors? The ones that came preinstalled are junk.

My 2 cents I'm going to say no just because a friend put them projectors in his grand am and it said in the warning sheet not to put hid kits in them because the area is to small and will create to much heat and melt the housing. So my opinion I wouldn't if get new lenses first.

What's the difference between 35 and 55? Is one more recommended over the other for headlights? I put a hid on my motorcycle and don't even need the brights at night
