Yep. LED will be the next big thing. Low heat, low maintenance, not shock/vibration sensitive and long lasting. Aftermarket LED conversion kits are just starting to hit the market, they aren't quite there on output compared to 4300k xenon or factory LED lamps, but they're close.

I just bout a new 5k kit, lol an entire kit is cheaper than buying replacement bulbs from DDM. I'm happy with the output my 35w puts out. My wife already gripes at me how bright they are I just want to change the color a bit to more white then and less blue.

Oh an the stock housing is rated at 55w halogens, so 55w xenon should be fine.

Thread from the dead. I'm a newb to electronics. What's the difference in 35W and 55W. Yes I know 20W for the inevitable smartass remarks lol . Guessing one draws more power off the battery?

I am thinking about ordering a set from DDM since they are cheap and can't really be upset if I eff anything up. The only harness option is for Dual in Dual out, what does that mean? And what is an Error eliminator?

Error eliminator is for the BMW cars, which have relay error codes for when a ballasts goes out.

As for the dual in dual out, I am not sure. I would assume it's a daul ended harness to tap each individual ballasts into the battery.

About to place my order with DDM. There is only one option for "HID Harness" which is "Dual in Dual Out." Is this something I need to order or no?

When I click the description it gives this text:

"Use this relay harness to connect HIDs to cars with very small gauge wiring that cannot supply the initial surge current required to light the bulbs reliably. Symptoms indicating the harness is required would be intermittent starting or lights going out after being turned on for several minutes and requiring you to turn the lights off and back on for them to turn back on again. Recommended for all 55W HID installations but most American and European cars work at 35W/55W without the harness. The harness is definitely recommended for Quad';s and other ATVs or when running multiple HID installations. This harness is a fused relay isolation harness capable of supplying 20A at 12vdc. Not required when using High / Low kits."

Since this will be for fogs and I am not using any other HIDs, should I go ahead and order this harness?

It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Good rule of thumb.
