    You have 5000k on it?

    55w ballast on a 5000k bulb will look more like 4300/4500, white but with a very slight hue of "sunlight yellow". The higher wattage color washes some of the color out.

    To get the 35 watt 5000 clear bright all white color you would have to do a 6000k bulb with the 55 watt ballast.


    35 watts in the headlight and foglight with the 5000k is plenty bright.

    You think for $80 bi xenon lights (low and high beam will be 5k) with a canbus is good?

    You don't need the Canbus feature.

    $80.00 is on the high side.

    You can also do HID Hi & HID Lo beams (2 bulbs per headlight), but you'll have to find space to mount 4 ballasts.

    Canbus only has to do with new vehicles that have BOW (Bulb Out Warning) systems. Our car has none of that headache.
