Default Upgrade my HIDs from 35w to 50w?

What is involved new ballasts? is that all?

Anyone know where I can get what I need for a reasonable price?

Default look for the apexcone kit. SPP just resells their kit. i got an xtec 50w kit

and it was very nice. i dont know what happened to the company though, i wonder if theyre still around.

you need ballasts + 50w bulbs.

Default You need Ballasts and Bulbs. And yes we still are in business :)

You can run a 50W ballast on a 35W bulb for about... 10 seconds. then it blows up. Kinda fun to watch actually, you can see it turn all sorts of different colors before it melts.<ul><li><a href="http://www.supremepowerparts.com">http://www.supremepowerparts.com</a</li></ul>
