Default HID Extra

Currently have 35w 6000k HID's in my 2010 tC. Thinking about swapping them out for either the 55w ones or the Canbus ones from HID Extra just for some more light. Anyone have any pictures comparing them thanks

Stay with 35w ballasts and get some Morimoto 4300K bulbs from TRS, this will give you the maximum output, 50W will just destroy your projectors. I ran 50W Morimotos with 4300K bulbs for 2 weeks before baking them open to block the squirrel finders properly and the reflector bowls already started to haze.

50W ballasts really don't help you see anything more than 35W, your eyes will just get tired quickly with 50W. Just get good bulbs, makes a big difference.

Stay with 35 watt. Just get better HID ballasts/bulbs. It will be brighter. Quality does matter!
