Why do you suggest the 35 Watt Kit? Wouldn't a 50 Watt Kit be brighter?

Also, I think I like the 5K a little better. I'd like to get as close to OEM as possible. The 6K seems a little blue to me, but always tough to tell from pictures. Anybody else have experience with this? Any good suggestions on where to mount the Ballasts?

i've heard some people are having problems w/50w due to heat. better to stick w/35w.
as for ballasts location, you'll get better idea if you search hid kit. there are some posts w/pics.
