Thread: Can stock Headlights handle 55w HID?

The stock headlights on my GTP are Terrible, the foglights are doing a better job right now. I ordered new assemblies from ebay which will deal with the clouding issue.
What I want to know is can I run 55w HIDs in the factory enclosure? With the reflector design will it blind people? Should I go with the 35w?

Im going for the 5k HID setup if I order them, I like the OEM look.

I know the Retrofits are a better option but I don't have that kind of money to spend on headlights, I just want something Bright, that will let me see where im going way too fast.

I believe some have reported "melting" when running 55w.

Any HID in a halogen capsule will blind oncoming traffic.

Should I go with the 35w?

I would recommend this. I had no issues with this set-up.
