I have 55w 8K ddm kit in my projectors and i have to say they are way nicer than the 35w, mine have a little tint of blue but not to much.

just be cautious of some "55W" HID sets that is assembled by 55w ballasts with 35w HID bulbs....that might blow out your bulbs or make it dim and dim...

Im sportin the 55w slim kit from ddm with 5000k bulbs... i remember reading that if you go higher or lower in color temp from there the lumen output drops. the color changes (warmer or cooler) and you'll basically see less, thats why i went with 5000k. Been running them in my stock one-piece headlight with no problems. I believe the 55w burn slightly higher in color temp... so my 5000k's look more like 5500/5800k

the kit is great though!

this is a great read, probably everything you'll ever need to know.

I'm not positive if the connectors are pinned the same with respect to wiring but the connectors are the same. I'd be very surprised if the wiring was different.
