            I know DDM and other companies sell 35w and 55w versions. I think the 55w just has a higher output of energy = a brighter light. I could be wrong though, just speculation.

                        35W just doesnt make sense to me. now i have never done an HID conversion, so correct me if i am wrong. but a typical conventional headlight bulb is rated at 55/65W and in some cases up to 100W. Now common sense would dictate that with greater light and heat generated wold require more electricity. especially if you are creating an arc that is jumping across a 1/8" gap. So would anybody care to explain how greater light and heat is generated from less wattage?

                            35W hid's will infact have less comsumption than stock bulbs, but will have a much higher output. The closer to white (5k) you are in temp the more output, lower temp will appear yellow, higher will have blue tint. Colors are debateable so don't make any huge purchases based on my guidelines.
