35w

 

will the 55w overheat in the housing?

 

I have over 60+ orders with HIDxtra and haven't had not one major issue with them at all. There was only one case where an item failed but they replaced it for free within 2 days. There hids cost $39.99 the $13.69 to ship to my location so a difference of $6.32 doesn't seem like a great deal to me. Plus the fact of having to wait at max 10 days just for processing?!?! that's a bit ridiculous i think.

I'll stick with HIDxtra with 60+ orders and counting with 2 day shipping and excellent customer service.

But to each their own.

 

Our stock bulbs are 55w. I wouldn't recommend getting the 55w. I think 35w is plenty for the output given.

 

direct quote from their website

"Bulbs sold come with the industry standard Amphenol type connectors. Since we have no way of knowing which ballasts these bulbs may be attached to, we can only offer a 1 year warranty on separate bulb sales. Even so, these are the SAME bulbs contained in our Lifetime Warrantied DDM Kits."

 

That's very strange. Just last week, the site said they carry a lifetime warranty.

 

that is 5K my friend. i have the same kit and same temps for my HID. so much better than my friends 6K and 8K kits they got on their cars.

 

you get their lifetime warranty when you buy the kit. you only get 1 year if you buy the bulbs themselves.

 

Are they 55w? I am not happy with my 35w 5000k from HIDextra. They are too blue and not bright especially today in rain/snow!!

 

They are "blue" because of the color you ordered, not what wattage.

 

Are 5000k suppose to be this blue!? I don't think so!

 

Hope im not thread jacking but i have a quick question....

What kit from DDM do i need to order for HID and i would like the white preferable in the 4500k range?

 

I love my 55w hi & lo hid for hidextra that as ____! LOL

 

The issue with pictures of headlights, specifically HID's is that every camera/persons eyes are different. The 5000K I have in my WRX are fairly blue tinted, and so was the same with my other 2 vehicles. I have used the same brand for all 3 vehicles. While to others it may appear whiter/bluer what have you.

The difference the 35w vs 55w has is the 55 is obviously brighter. To some the difference is noticeable,to others not at all.

Did you happen to check and make sure you ordered/received the 5000K bulbs?

 

I double checked that I ordered 5000k. I hoping HIDextra responds soon on here. If not ill call customer service then.

 

I have a Nikon D90 and went crazy taking pics of my HIDextra 35w 5000k kit to give a good perspective of the color and brightness. As I have said before color looks great, but brightness is not adequate and it seems to be more blue than for 5000k as I had expected. Opinions and comments please!

Here is one example of them at night...

 

be careful with them, hidextra sent my friend the wrong bulbs. they were suppose to be 5k but what he got was probably 8k because they are ricey blue!! the bulbs werent even marked so they probably dont even know what they send out. lol

some of these 5k's look really blue, that's why i would only roll 4300k!

 

Yea the bulbs aren't labeled and neither are the boxes they come in. I'm already planning to order new bulbs from DDM tuning. Not satisfied with HIDextra at all...

 

that is crazy! i wonder if they just got a bunch of 8k and they send them to a lot of people ordering 5ks. lol would be funny.

My bulbs from 3bspec came in little tube things that were clearly marked! thats how they should be!

 

I wouldn't be surprised lol. I really just want to buy a philip's hid kit and stop playing around with these cheap kits!
