35 watt definitely needs error cancelor. 55w could "potentially" do without the error cancelor, but I wouldn't recommend it, you could still have problems with flickers or light out codes.
Also, 55w washes out some of the color, so a 55w 8000k looks more like a 35w 6000k. I would just get 35w 6000k for both, because even though stock halogens are 55w, HID's output more heat, so 55w in headlight, and especially fogs can (and probably will) cause issues such as melting, and 55w bulbs don't last as long as the 35w.
You will need the error eiminator type 3.
As far as the HID harness, I have no idea if you need it or not...
