How long is the shipping?
Is this with a slim ballast?
whats the difference between 5000 and 6000?

I have the smoked laminix covering on my ellipsoids. which one would you suggest? I want something OEM look.

US elliposoid low beam is 9006 right?

Thanks.

do they actually last, or do you have to use the warranty often? I deal with a company that dealer cost is considerably higher, but they said they have tried all the cheap ones, and they had a high failure rate, and I have installed some that had to be rewired, as they came wired backwards (most of the ebay ones) if these are decent I will use them

which 1 is the closest to a BMW stock HID?

[T Verdier]

i hear these are bad quality but they are only $20 more than the sivaina high quality stock bulbs. should i just buy the hids?

You may want to do some research on heat or melting issues. I'm not sure, but if Ellipsoid high beams have any plastic in them, a 55w could cause some problems there.

Why would they melt?
55W halogen bulbs: Less light output with same power usage. This means that more of the energy is converted to heat.

55W HID bulbs: Higher light output with same power usage. This means that less of the energy is converted to heat.

In other words, HIDs run cooler.

Mine measued in at 2.5"x3.5"x.75". So which kit do i have?

I run 55w 5k in my lows which are plastic with no problems

I ordered the 55w apexcone kit but receved the DDM slim ballast. I plugged one in to see if it was a brighter unit as they claim a 40% increase in light output but they look the same. The website say the 55w ballast is larger. Does anyone have the slim kit dimensions so i can compare to see which ballast i have.

Ya, unless you're driving nightime rally stages on a regular basis.

So 35 low and 55 highs.....

THis should be impressive.

[CorvallisBMW]

I ordered the 35w for the low beams with the 6K, what do you guys think about the 55w with 6K for the high beams? Overkill?
