Quick HID questions? Reps!!!

Black01 · September 30th, 2009, 12:03 PM

I am about ready to order from vvme.com and i just had a few last questions....

I want dual beam 6000K for the headlights this would be a 9007 bulb also...

What is the difference between the slim ballast kit they have thats output is 35W and the 55W kit? They say the 35W will last a little longer as well.

Also i want the single beam 6000K for the foglights this would be the 880 series bulb...

Would i notice a difference if i just put the 35W fogs in or should i pay the extra $20 and get the 55W's for the fogs???

Thanks guy im just trying to figure all this out so i can order.

Correct me if im wrong on any of this im a newb lol

Go with the slim ballast. They are eaiser to place in a stealth install and consume less power. If I am not mistake, then 35W and 55W simply states the wattage the lights consume from the car. Therefore the less power consumption the better.

So, Slim Ballast and 35W would be the route to take.

I wonder if u lose some brightness or anything going from 55 to 35W

M.P. Cobra Fan · September 30th, 2009, 04:48 PM

As far as I know, you will not. Both should be around 2900lumens in a 6k kit.

dansgt · September 30th, 2009, 04:52 PM

the 55 watt will be slightly brighter and wash out the color a little more, so the 6000k in 35 vs 55 will be more blue. slim ballasts are digital where as the thick are analog. cars with warning lights that tell you when your lights are out need the fat ones, but for the stang it makes no difference. i went with the thick 55 watt 6000k on both my cars and they work great. for your fogs though i wouldnt go more then 35 watt, the stock is 26.7( or something like that) watts and you dont want to risk melting anything with the higher wattage.

i would stick with the 35w kit, and the slim ballasts if you can...

How did you get your light so evenly spread out? I'm thinking it's the different brands of headlights. I have aftermarket ones, and not Ford ones. The Ford ones tend to have a even pattern.

must be..they are stock light housings...and i just put the HIDs in just like the standard bulb...i did use the screw to adjust height though
