James is correct. 35 all the way around. heard of some people having the fog lights melting the housing with 55watt so i figured i woudl rather not risk it. But u can put 55watt in the lowbeams but keep in mind that a 55 watt glows brighter so if u get a 55watt 6000k and a 35 watt 6000k they will be a bit off in the shade of blue.

no error codes unless. . . . u mount the ballast to close to the abs module. On the passeneger side i believe. ddm is usually pretty quick about shipping. Wonder why it took so long for them to send it out. Usually takes 3 days to get to my house once its shipped though.

Just for reference, keep in mind that those that come with factory HID headlights have a different bulb sizes:

Regular halogen bulbs (H7 low-beam):

http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm


Factory HIDs (HID-D1S low-beam):

http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...RG-Results.htm

Hopefully someone can verify this: my high-beam bulbs are H10 bulbs. When I was upgrading my factory (4300K) HID headlights with (6000K) HID headlights, I noticed that. According to the replacement guide (above), they are to be H7 on both (those with, and those without factory HID headlights). My fog lights are still size H11, and everything else is normal though. Has anyone else discovered that? Just curious...

high and low beams on halogen Capsule are both h7. Certian modles s4 iirc have both high beams and low beams built in together. Bi-xenon. others carry a ds1 hid bulb for low beam and high beam i believe stays h7.

While that may be true, I know that personally, on my car, even on the headlight housing it is indicated that my low-beam bulb is an HID-D1S and my high-beam is an H10. Otherwise, I would just assume that when the previous owner installed the headlights they had used the wrong size. The high-beam bulb was even made by Sylvania (ironically enough). Perhaps it is only my car that is different...but yeah, like I said, it's even indicated on the label attached to the headlight housing; strange...
