P1 HID, 35W or 55W

So I've searched the HID DIY posts to death but don't see much about the 35w vs 55w Moritmoto kit. Can anyone offer insight on which way to go and why? Thanks

55 watts should really be for off road use or exhibition use. It is much brighter than 35 watts, it might draw too much negative attention.

55w are slightly brighter than 35w, but 35w burns cooler and has more longevity. Vast majority of our customers prefer 35w. Let us know if we can help you out.. We're authorized Morimoto vendors.
