well, I've researched the net and lots of people are happy with the 55 watt kits with no problems, they notice the brightness.

Now for our cheap thinly made car. Do we think its save for the headlight housing? And the projector housing?

All in all I did a search on the forum and I don't see to much for 55 watt on Xb2's, so I'm wondering what we all think or have had experience with.
thanks

u dont need a 55w ever, all the extra wattage does is makes a k go back. So u say u have 8k hid's the extra wattage will make it 7k hid's.. soo if u want 6k hid's you'll hit 5k's which are nice bright white.

^^^ plus makes the light brighter. You can do it, I have been running them for almost a year in my tC.

i have a 55w 5000k Umnitza kit in my xb2 like a year & a half & its been golden! i had MobileHIDs prior to the Umnitza & i went through 2 ballasts & 2 sets of bulbs w/in a month. yeah, they replaced em for free, but i shouldn't have to replace them so often. so i went with Umnitza...

Been using 55w for 1.5yrs doing fine. Beware some sellers give you 30w bulbs instead..they will work but will fade and die out after awhile.

Just use a relay, I guess. I've been using a 35W HID kit in my xB2.

Ive been wanting to switch to 55w. The 10k in 35w just isnt doing it anymore and I think my 3bspec kit is getting old...

wer did u get them at ?

Try DDM tuning for a good price on 55w. Everyone I know that has bought their kits have been happy.

so if i get the 4500k 55w would it go down a k cuz i like the white ones not blue

Frizz

you need to get 6000k or 8000k 55w to get a pure white color. 4500k would be yellow, haha.

if he'd like pure white it would be exactly 5K, My bro has 5k on his tC real nice, no blue whats so ever

FatBoyTrucker

i got Umnitza 5000k 55w hids. pure white & way brighter than the 6000k mobliehids i had

Frizz

Were talking about 55w tho noob, They go down a k so 5k would be yellowish, if he gets 6500k or 8k it would be Pure white.

FatBoyTrucker

how about...no on my previous post ive stated that I HAVE 5000K 55W UMNITZA HIDs. they're on my xb2, its pure white & way brighter than the 6000k mobliehids i had.

SlowxD

point taken you wont know till you try it, and fatboytrucker has.
I just love the 5k with either watt.. white is a great color to have

n00b fail OOoOoo lol

nava89

wer did you buy them?

FatBoyTrucker

they had a post in the classifieds like a year & a half ago. 55w digital slim kits... haven't seen much umnitza posts lately.

XD40tC

Id like proof rather than speculation that 55w looks the same as a 35w a k rating down.

nava89

so wat website is better to get the hids in 5k cuz i want white and the slim ballast? how about ddm tunig should i go with 35w or 55w
