DUDE! Get them from DDMtuning.com. I have a set of 6000Ks 35w in my highs and lows as well as fogs, I have a set in my 05 suburban, and I have bought numerous sets for friends. They have always worked great, cant complain at all. These are very good quality sets, and they only run about $40 shipped. You need to check em out! Heres a pic of before and after of the lows....

no 55w will be fine on the wires, the main problem people have is when they install then in a small fog light it melts the plastic

for sure, there where HID kits factory in some cadilacs in 2000, and in mercedes. When i first bought my set of HID's they where twice, almost three times what they cost today! and that was a deal compared to the OEM price of HID's on some vehicles, nice to see that the price has gone down. I have bought some HID kits from a few other companies and had bad luck, keept going thru balasts, light bulb flickering, burnt bulbs every few months, but the kit's i bought from pilot are solid. have not had a single balast fail yet, only burnt a couple bulbs and thats good considering that my lights run day and night every time i drive my truck cuz my windsheild is tinted dark.
