anyone upgrade from 35w to 55w hid ballast?
#28
as the title says...has anyone upgraded their evo's factory hid ballasts from 35w to 55w?
i have the reason to believe that my driverside ballast is malfunctioning and also want to know if upgrading to 55w ballasts/bulbs will mess up my headlights?
im going to be ordering the kit from DDMtuning and theres only a $10 difference between the two...
id be going with the 6000k 55w D2S kit...

55w hids are more bright than 35w hid but generate more heat so 55w Kits are not recommended for smaller fog light housings because they tend to concentrate a large amount of heat in a small area.. and might melt your bulbs....
if you install 35w bulbs on 55w ballast, no doubt your bulb might be burnt...
i highly recommend you to read the difference between them before you get the right hid kit

whether you choose 35w or 55w kit has nothing to do with your bulbs....
as for most cars , if 35w can work well , then 55w can work on your car lights too and 55w make your headlights more brighter .....
however, it only matters that you choose 55w ballast but not you must choose digital ballast... anyhow, 55w digital ballast is better choice, i think..
if your car has auto computer system (can-bus system), and some can-bus system restrict you only can install 35w kit, then if you install 55w kit the system will send out error info... if your can-bus system doesnt have limit about 35w or 55w, you can choose 55w kit with 55w digital ballast to make ur headlights more bright......

Do we need to run a relay with the 55w ballasts? I don't currently run one with my 35w system, but i'm retrofitting to Acura TSX Projectors and upgrading to a 55w digital ballast and bulb (6000k). I ordered the relay harness, just-in-case, but i would rather not use it if i don't have to.
