[QUOTE="GNBRETT, post: 15747922, member: 111882"] you can put a 55 watt kit in it but that doesn't mean you just throw a 55 watt bulb in there. 55 watt requires either a dual or quad ballast. no big deal but its not just a bulb swap. there is no headlight setup that is brighter then what u already have as far as ur bulb goes. its 4300k from the factory which is the brightest u can get. 4300k is closest to sunlight therefore the brightest. going hotter (meaning 5000k or 6000k) over 4300k only causes you to lose lumens not gain them. 55 watt would gain you some output but it can be terribly bright to oncoming traffic which includes cops coming at you. I wouldn't recommend the 55 watt kit. they get freakn HOT! your $2500 factory HID setup is designed for a 35 watt. I wudnt screw with that. the fogs can be upgrades to HID but again I would chose 4300k for them as well to match ur headlights. I'm sure they have a plug-n-play kit for ur car. I wudnt f-k with ur headlights, there bright as hell in factory form. I do see that some should adjust theirs up slightly to give more distance. some I see are pointed to far down. I adjusted mine and they were factory. [/QUOTE]
