Default Overkill???

Finally getting the HID conversion kit, but decided to go with the Retro-Solutions 55w 6K Digital instead of the vvme 35w. is the 55w going to be overkill for my low beams?

Default nope, i'm using 55W with my 5400K xenarc bulbs from SPP and they're great.

I just have to find the time to sand the pits out of my housings to get them crystal clear again. I think they're dispersing my light making the road a bit dimmer at night.

VVME uses cheap components and screws people over left and right, they are the biggest scam going these days. The low price may be attractive but they make their money by shipping some people instruction manuals instead of kits, not upholding their warranty, and using really crappy ballasts.
