e92 HID fogs... 35watt or 55watt?

jpsimon · 02-18-2009, 11:56 AM

I can't seem to find a real solid answer... what are all of you people using? Can I get away with a 55watt kit not throwing a code? Or will I have to hack in some resistors no matter which I go with?

E92-Lighting · 02-18-2009, 01:07 PM

35W

AWe92cal · 02-20-2009, 01:32 AM

35w for Fogs, H8 and H11 have the same Base.. or so I've read. PM xenon depot, i think i got it from one of his threads

H8 35 watt

I went with 4500k. It matches the oem headlights perfectly.

If your original bulb is 55watt, then my bet is on the 55watt kit, no direct experience though.

not for HID. 55watt will be way too bright.
