Someone had asked for pics of 35w vs 55w HID bulbs.

At some point last summer, I was curious too, so I swapped out one of my wife's 35w ballasts with a 55w.
Then I forgot about it until it was brought up here.

Anyways, here are the pics. I took these tonight after ariving home from driving through a blizzard of a snow storm.

I won't tell you which side has the 55w. You tell me just by looking at these pics.
Personally, I don't see much of a difference. I say stick with 35w's.

BTW, I buy my HID's from DDM tuning. I used to buy the slim ballasts. They turned out to be shit. I have since gone back to buying the bulkier but more reliable Raptor ballasts. They just work.

-2 exposure: This one I think shows the best difference between the two.

Passenger side is 55w, my guess at least.

Looks good though, I went with the 6000k. Company called kensun on Amazon, I am very impressed with the kits however it will wait to see longevity. from what I read on Amazon they had the best reviews out of any HID company.
