Hmmmm....... correct me if i'm wrong but are hid's bright already meaning does 55w really make a difference from 35w? I've been told never get higher wattage bulbs cause you would have to upgrade the wireing. Cause i just got mine today and they are bright as the sun. Sun tan anyone.....lol

You shouldn't have to upgrade the wiring, usually. But if you get flickering or misfire, a relay harness should solve that problem. And if you have proper hid projectors or even some decent halogen projectors, 35 watt should be plenty.

I wis it was enough but they are terribly dim for me at 35w in projectors.

you would b e advised to run a relay harness with any 55watt kit, or risk, melting then shorting your OEM plug and sockets and wire harness.

ok. I got relay in it now. I talked to my GF she said just get a new set of clear euro style headlights. She said they look dim to. We both have factory HID's on our other cars. I took and parked her G37 next to the Hoe and laughed at how much brighter hers are. She just has stock 4300k phillips kit from Infiniti and then the Fog lights are 3000k.

If I was to order a 55w kit from DDM in 9006 size would I risk melting clear style housings? I have seen some guys running 55w as highs in there OBS.

How much heat they can handle depends on the quality of the housings. Although, hids run cooler than halogens so you might be ok with 55w. If you get clear euros, maybe try your 35w first to see how bright they are.
