need hid conversion information
so basically i have 35 watt 4300k hid's on my car right now,
and on my moms car on one side her ballast went on the fritz so i'm giving her mine
so now i have an option of 5000k 35 watt or 55 watt and i don't know which i should go with, i know there's more heat with the 55 watt but is that really a problem?
also i have the flickering lights problem with my current kit, i was wondering what i should look at getting to get rid of that flickering light problem if there's a solution
btw im changing both sides to 5000k not just one
and on my moms car on one side her ballast went on the fritz so i'm giving her mine

I want it to match my eyebrows in my l e d lights I currently have the 5 k led eyebrows and corner markers.. are you talking about 6k 55watt? I hear on the 55 watt you have to get about 7k to get a pure white color

i have 6k 35w and they're bluish. The higher the kelvin the bluer the color. If you want a pure white 5k will work. I dont believe there are 7k HIDs. At least none that I know of.

scroll down and you'll see my setup. 8k led with 6k hid

yes i know, i had 6k 35 watts as well they did not match well with my setup....
but i heard if you get 5k 55 watts they look yellower then the 35 watts so you have to go a little higher on the kelvin
