tracy, why did you go with 35w and not 55w? i just got a response back from the vendor link you sent me. he told me i could go with either 35w or 55w and can also choose the slim ballast over the regular ballast. which ballast did you go with? thanks.

Hi i have 35 watt kit because i have read the 55 watt ones don't last as long and are just abit brighter. I have bigger ballast because their is only one part to mount and all is internal, where the slim has 2 parts to mount but the ballast is much smaller.

go 55watt for sure, don't even think about the 35's. I have 35 in my headlights and started with 35 in a custom foglight set up I made. I then tried 55 in my fogs and man....big difference. I just ordered some 55's for the headlights. went 6k btw

I think the Silverstars are fine...for what they are. They are a nice difference between stock and this cheap upgrade. however, the ones Drty has (can;t remember the brand) are bright as can be.

On teh flip side of that, throw in a lower grille 20" LED lightbar and you will have more than you know what to do with....never mind the two 30" or one 50" up top.

I've given this a lot of thought (and read a ton!) and am still kicking it around but I will most likely end up with the Silverstars...

The problem with the HID in the Hummer is that the OEM reflector headlights are not made for HID, and do not disburse the light properly. There are "hot spots" everywhere.

While you might see better from inside the car, on the outside you are blinding people because the OEM lenses do not project the light properly.

It's not because it's a reflector lens, it's because that reflector lens isn't made for an HID bulb.

JMO... which is based on tons of reading and tons of pictures.
