Does anyone here have 55 WATT HID's?

[delguini]

Just wondering if they're good or not.

Do out light casings support 55 Watt (instead of the normal 35 Watt) or is it too strong and it might melt?

Has anyone had problems with the (five-0) while using 55 Watt lights?

Thank you!

I installed them just the other day and am really really happy with them. I have them pointed well, and have not been flashed yet, and been around a lot of police which love pulling people over late at night( college town). A friend on his bike said they were not annoying or anything from an outside point of view. Only issue is the ballest box is a little big. And they are 50 watt.

where did you manage to fit the ballest box?

It came with some brackets that I managed to be a little creative with. I used the bolt that holds the airbox down on the outer most part of the car. The other side I was able to twist some metal on the bracket and get it to sit flush up against the the out side of the engine bay near the shock tower. I am going to remove the bumper one day and mount them a little better, I have a friend who is going to get me some 3m VHB and give that a try. I will get pictures later this afternoon.

you might want to look at retrofitting some projectors to get the most out of the HID setup.
