Re: HID lights
I put a cheap set of 55W 6000K in my son, Nick's SVX, and do not see a differance from the 35W 6000K sets that I have installed.
In my own cars I usually go with a 5000K 35W Lava Lux set. The exception is my Claret, with a 4300K, 35W Lava Lux set. Older eyes need more lumins.

Re: HID lights
From the picture you can see the difference. I could tell the difference as soon as I sat in the car much more light. The 55w light is also not as white.

Re: HID lights
The one I gave you had no blue in it at all.
I think the bulb I gave you was a 55w 5000k. So it would like like the 4300k 35 color. So, 2 steps below your 35w 6000k. |

Re: HID lights
According to DDM they say the 55w washes out the color. An 8000 K looks like a 35W 6000K . So I am thinking the one you gave me was a 6000K just has a slight yellow tint, not quite pure write.

Re: HID lights
I just came in the house ,I went to remove the hid and replace it. I found the plug came apart. ( reason the light stopped working). I will save installing the new ones when it warms up so I can take my time.

Re: HID lights
I bought a DDM kit and *should* have got the normal sized ballasts and the 9006/HB4 bulb... But not only does my ballast not fit the including brackets, but the bulb won't fit in my spare headlight housing...

Re: HID lights
Spare headlight housing? My bulb is very tight fit in the low beam socket.

Re: HID lights
I got the DDM bulb/ballast years ago same size and didn't have fitment issues.
