whats the difference between 35w and 55w? and premium ballasts or slim ballasts?

Premium ballasts are typically higher quality ballasts. Slims are just smaller for tighter fit applications.

55w is slightly brighter than 35w because it uses more power. I have 35w and they are plenty bright! And the differnce between premium and slim ballasts is the size, slim ballasts are a smaller thickness than the premium, making it easier to install in tight applications.

Dear buyer: Thanks for asking . 55W AC ballast will brighter than 35W ballast. And 55W quality, stability are better. Thank you Sean

Dear Timothy,Thanks for your inquiry.The lights you were refering to are 35W,and they can be used with the 55W ballasts but this will definitely reduce the lifespan of the lights.So you'd better use 55W lights with 55W ballasts or 35W lights with 35W ballasts.And we do not sell hid lights separately,but we do have 55W hid kit including lights and ballasts.Hope this can help.

I always order the slim kit because the ballasts are easy to place . Never had the premium.

it really doesnt matter. i have these HIDs that are rated for 35W in my 55W ballest and they have been running fine for months.

you can use these or the 35 watt. These are a lot brighter than the 35 watt HID's

Brightness, the 55W are brighter, and will have a clearer light, less blue than the 35W

I will say none. 15w-50 is too heavy for all the listed vehicles. Most probably probably have 5w-30 spec'd by the manufacturer.

Yes ,these ballast 55 w it work with 55w 9007 bulbs . You make sure these bulbs 55w HID bulbs .

Most HID blubs are manufactured with 35W in mind. These blubs will operate at 55W, however they will emit much more heat, will glow a slightly different color, usually a cooler color on the Kelvin scale, and will not last as long as with 35W blubs. With the cost of Chinese HID blubs, I would say go for it. Make sure that the headlight housing you are using can withstand the extra heat generated from a 55W HID blub. Typically go with the current draw from your stock blubs. If your car used 55W incandescent blubs, then you are good to use 55W HID blubs.

The different watt setting are kind of a non-feature although many ballasts have this feature. Many people use the lower settings to lower the heat output, but if you are just starting out, pay a little more money and get a decent unit. If you buy a Quantum, it will fail, and depending on how you are using it, it can cost you a lot of money.

Its honestly not much more for a 600 watt bulb and its akways best to keep the bulb and ballast matched...you can always dim the 600 watt...just a suggestion. I would hate to see someone loose money on a ballast due to mix matched wattages...be safe rather than sorry. I hope this helped.

well, I have a buddy that has purchased the the 55w. There is a definate brightness difference however, he gets flashed constantly by on coming traffic and has been pulled over by the law due to the brightness. I am happy with the 35W. not sure if this truly answered your actual question.

Yes, it will , I have used these harnesses for both 35 & 55w ballasts and thay work fine.

Typically street legal vehicles using halogen lights use around 40 for low beam and 60 for high. So your ballast pulls less. If Ur using a bi xenon hid balast only uses 35 on both doesn't change your amp only changes the position of the bulb. So an hid kit if installed correctly will use way less power
