    I just installed Morimoto h11 hid kit on the volvo im driving. They're 150$ and they work great. They come with 5 years warranty on 35w ballast and 3 years for 55w.

    The thing with 55w. ballasts things can heat up and melt real quick. I would recommend 35w. To everybody before a 55. Not trying to turn this into a piss match just going with what is safer yet not much difference in output if any.

    Ive actually installed 55win kit into couple of cars. Also looking at youtube reviews 55w is brighter.

    Ya I totally understand that 55w ballast makes things hotter. I run the same manufacture on 2 separate cars with zero issues. I think if you buy s quality kit which I have you won't have issues.
