35w HID is plenty powerful enough.

Mmm... yes, that's right... However, the 6000K HID is less powerful than 4300K... by a huge margin so stick with 4300K HID this time.

yup but just traded my 4300k bulbs with 3000k bulbs for the fogs,same ballast though. I asked about the 50w hid because someone is willing to buy my 6000k low beam hid for around $170 which I have 15months remaining warranty, and the 50w 5100k hid is only around $193 bnew with 18 months replacement warranty:D

Ahh... I see now... $23 upgrade. Ahh what the heck, just do it. Be the guinea pig like I did when I did the one of the earliest HID conversion in 2001... which by the way still works perfect.

hehehe im REALLY TEMPTED but kinda scared because i just changed my headlights due to the projector got burnt when i put those 100w halogen before...If I changed to 50w hid do you think id have the same problem as before? I know the stock halogen of these cars is around 55w but im not really familiar with the heat that H.I.D gives out compared with halogen.

Yes, that is the 'normal' life there, no doctors, no health insurance, usually no education etc.
We have about 80 kids there now in elementary school, more than 10 go to university (sponsored by us), the agriculrural project and so on.
