    The 35's will be more than plenty... I ordered mine thru SharpHid. Also with the 35's you should be able to just go plug and play and not need the relay harness. If you go 55, the harness is definately needed... And that is from 3bracing...

    The 35W HIDs would be good enough. I have them in my projectors and they are much better then halogens. I recommend you get a relay harness with either kit. I am using a 9007 bi-xenon relay harness from 3bspec for my projectors.

    About as difficult as installing an electric fan on an old car.

    I'm skimming it now to see if I can find anything useful. Might want to do the same.

    Its about 3x the light output. Figure about 1000 lumens for the 55w halogen and around 3000 lumens for the hid depending on the color temp you get.

    Ever touched a headlight after running HID's for a while? They're cold... Halogens are the ones that will melt the housing.

    How do you think a 35W bulb can be much brighter than a 55 W without increasing efficiency?

    HIDs will not melt the projectors. I have been using HIDs in them since I got them from the group buy awhile ago.

    Where did you find projectors using the 9007 bulb? All the ones I looked at use H1 bulbs. I wanted projectors after I got my hid's but didn't want to buy two H1 bulbs too.
