i like that it's completely oem water/weather tight! and the stock projectors with halogens definitely have a cutoff. i couldnt get a good picture of it though. In person, you can see it for sure

 

Ok ya stock halogen's are 55w but the stock HID's are not. But you would be correct the HID's will draw the same amount of power as stock halogens.

 

sweet write up man!!
wil deff help me!!
...personaly ithink im goin with 55w 5000k

 

Stock D2S Xenons on the A4's are 35 watts.

However, stock halogen on the A4's are 55W. People tend to run 55W instead of 35W to prevent having to run a separate relay. With some 35W kit without relay, there are times it will take couple of times/tries for both lights to turned on as at times the electric/computer doesn't realize the smaller wattage that the ballast are consuming.

 

so its better to go with 55w? NICE!!

 

mine come on fine at 35w.

 

Ya I knew the stock HIDs were 35w, I didnt specify before since I wouldnt think anyone with stock HIDs would be installing a HID kit.

 

so whats the real difference then? 55w = brighter?

 

Idk really. I would think 35w are bright enough! I wouldn't want to blind oncoming traffic. I honestly think 35w 5000k is the best choice followed by 6000k.
