HIDs - 50 watt or 35 watt for low beam

[Troy711]

I'm planning on getting 6000K HIDs for the Statesman but I don't know if I should get 50 watts or 35 watts for the low beam. Any ideas? I was thinking of getting a 50 watt kit first and if it was too bright for the low beams I would put it in the high beams and get a 35 watt to replace it as both high and low run the same bulb.

Hi & Low run the same bulb? That really does not sound correct...

H7s

I thought they always did O.o. Show's how much young age doesn't help with experience wise.

But then again depending on the price i'd go for both and see. Or then again look up to see what the standards are and estimate off them.

And check if your wiring can handle the extra watts. Would prob be fine, but never know

ive got 35w 6000k and they seem to do the job

[Exidor]

Yeah. Just dont go above 6000K and
become a purple people eater.
And get ze nu fangled digital ballasts.

[Troy711]

Yea, I've been looking at the digital ones.. I'd rather spend the extra $$$ to get a decent product.

I might just stick with the 35 watt jobs for the time being. I'll post up some results.

HID Light - HID Conversion Kits, Phillips HID Kits, Xenon Lights, HID Work light, Driving Light, HID Headlamp Kit
But pricey.

[Troy711]

Pricey? That's pretty much what I was expecting to pay anyway lol.

Well compared to my Ebay specials.

[Troy711]

Yea I've seen some cheap arse ones on eBay.. I wouldn't touch them personally.

Troy711 I'm using a 35w Kit off ebay, There on whenever the car is on, apart from night obviously unless High-Beams are on, No issues, I'm using Phillips globes however,

Cheers
