I've searched a bit and there are no definite answers.
my stock hids (2006 coupe so I have projectors) are adequate but I want to upgrade and get a 55 watt hid kit.
I was researching and haven't been able to find if these are safe for the projectors/housing: if heat may melt anything?

I've used 55 watt kits in my previous cars with no issues, but I want to be certain if it's okay to run them in these cars or not.

thank you in advance.

I wasn't asking for a link as to where I can get them. I know where I can get a set.
im asking if it's safe. like it is posted in my title of the thread.
I know it causes more heat, and the bulb is slightly longer, but that is why I want to know if anyone's run them with any issues.

thanks.

 

e_k upgraded to 50w ballasts on his first coupe. Talk to him about it. 50w may be enough, considering stock is 35w.

Or if you have any other specific lighting questions, ask IvoryGT.

 

Try and let us know.

 

Don't know if you're trying to be a smartass vhtran or what, but as stated in my original post. I don't want to risk damaging my housings.
I PMed e_k, hope I get a response from him.
Thanks e1sk8er4ever

 

^ LOL why would i try to be a smart a$$ for, just that I haven't seen anyone on here doing that or knowing anyone that I know doing that and since you ask, so you can be the first hehehe

 

if you have to ask, its probably not safe.

 

Redlude and IvoryGT are the resident lighting experts among others. Just the 2 that came to mind.

 

ive baked my headlights at near 280 degrees no way is a 55W hid going put out heat in exess of that 55watts of light is being put out not heat.

 

i love it when nubs have attitude
anywas
quick question, y wud u want a higher wattage?

 

I'm not a nub.
Why I would want higher wattage is for brightness but I'm also researching to see if it's worth the money.
It's all about preference.

Hey, I ordered a 55 watt kit and when I went to install it the plugs didn't match.
So I called the shop that I got it from and he said that they do not make a upgrade plug and play kit for our cars, he said that we have to cut our factory harness and wire it up.
I was like "not happening".

 

Can you give me that kit? i'll pay for the shipping
