Those are very bright. I've put 35w HIDs in a reflector housing before, but IMO 55w is pushing it.

I'm sure everyone is already thinking this. Not all mods are necessarily an improvement.

35w was a little dim when driving on some of these highways with no lights in my opinion on my old car so i wanted something brighter and these are regular reflector housing

The issue isn't that 35w is dim, it's that you're blinding all oncoming drivers. Have you looked into the Depo headlights?

35W HIDs in the stock reflectors are a good match. Glare for oncoming traffic is manageable and you can actually see the road really well if you get either 4300K or 5000K.
