Hi guys, i`m getting myself a HID kit from the Uk, the seller on ebay answered me this and i would really like your help on this matter.

"Hi, 55w is brighter than the 35w, yes both 35 and 55w are available in canbus to stop errors on the dash, yes they come with everything to fit the bulbs and mount the ballasts¨---------------I want to know performance wise on my Fabia VRS what`s the difference between 35W and 55W HID and which one could do the work right. I`m still between 5000K and 6000K.

Thanx

P.S. Sorry if it`s a repost but since i`m in Chile and there`s only 30 or so Fabias VRS, the HID convertion kit it`s not available so i have to export from the UK.

If you're hoping for 55/35 (1.57x) more range than quartz-iodine bulbs, you'll be sorely disappointed; the actual extra range from the extra power is a square root function, so the most you'll get is 1.25x, and even that presumes that you have projector lenses. If you have complex element reflectors, you'd be better (and cheaper) to fit Osram Nightbreaker+ quartz-xenon bulbs.

Hi Ken thanx for your quick reply, my Fabia has projector lenses and i was just thinking if that extra 10£ and 20W more really made a diff. I guess i`ll stick up o the 35W then.

Thnx for your tech reply.
