I wouldnt do it. Anything over 6k you loose visibility. Also with a higher wattage you can burn the harness or anything else within the headlights.

how much of a difference in brightness would it be between a 35w and a 55w?

higher wattage its ok, because our halogen is more than 55W. the brightness difference would be 35/55x100%=? do the math lol

You will not lose very much visibility with 10,000k people ALWAYS act like you'll have no headlights. They won't produce as much light as a 4300k bulb, but neither does a 6k bulbs so yeah...

you need ballasts that can handle what the bulb is asking for, 35 watt ballast with 55 watt bulbs is no good..

10,000 is never ok. Don't put anything more than 6k.
