Also, what wattage should I get?

I'm buying 2 kits, one for my Civic and one for the Bike... should I get 55w for both?

Ordered them Thanks Turbotransam, OBDmart gave me a great deal on them.

Got 2 sets, one for my cage (2010 Civic) and one for the bike:
9006 35w 5000k (For the Civic)
H7 Digital Slim Ballast 35w 5000k (For the F4i Headlights when I get them)
$84 shipped for the pair!

The wattage only affects the brightness correct? I read that the 55w is what I should order, but he didn't have any 55w H7 5000k slim. I don't want them TOO bright... so I went with the 35w...

wattage affects brightness but high wattage bulbs also give off more heat. so if its a small space, aka fog light, they will over heat. 35W is plenty bright, I get flashed by people all the time because they think my high beams are on. probably doesn't help that i need to adjust the beam down about a foot lol

On my 05 F150 I converted the single headlights to a duel headlights with projection beam. Then installed HIDs in both the low and high. The most fun was mounting up 4 ballasts. Don't remember what wattage I have but I can tell you don't go over 6000K. The reason is if you get higher than 6000K they become useless on wet roads. Was driving next to a buddy who has 8000k and I could see the road better than he could.

I also have HIDs on the Blackbird and have been caught in the rain. So its wasn't the projections that helped to see better than him.

I'm buying the 5000k H7 55w. I'm going to put an F4i front end on it within the next couple months, so I don't want the H4 for the F3... but I am going to try to figure out a way to make the H7 bulb fit in the H4 housing...
Finally got around to doing the write up.

Here.
