Hi folks,
I've never fitted one of these aftermarket kits before and have a couple of newbie questions which I hope some of the more experienced folk could answer.
I already have 2 35W ballasts and I am looking at just buying new bulbs to use but I've seen 35W ones and 55W ones.

Would there be any benefit running the 55W bulbs?? ie brighter??
Would there be any dangers running the 55W bulbs?? ie the car bursting into flames?? lol

Thanks

with a 35 watt kit you fit 35 wat bulbs no point in running 55 wat bulbs coz the balasts will only give you 35 watts
my advise use the 35watt ones

Good man
was hoping you'd be along to answer. Prices for both are virtually the same so just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a trick.
