So the difference is only in the ballast? So a 35w bulb will be the same brightness as a 55w on the same ballast?Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30

OEM Phillips/osram bulbs are 35w and are bright enough. No need to run 55w. You would have to deal with more power being drawn, high heat etc. Not efficient.

Same Bulb. Basically if you have a yellowish color it will come out whiter with the higher ballast. If you have lights higher on the scale closer to blue the brighter ballast will make it look whiter and brighter as well.
I'm running the Morimoto HID kit with 50 watt ballasts. I bought 4300k bulbs and it comes out almost perfect white.
Go for the stronger ballast and get the brighter lights. The warranty says three years either way you go.
Brighter is better. I recommend 4300k it has the highest lumens of the standard bulb kit. (not counting osram etc,)-Art
