Was there a reason why you went with 35w instead of 55w? According to our owner's manual our stock low beam bulbs (H11) are actually 55w bulbs. Is it primarily you didn't want them too bright? Actually I haven't heard about squirrel finders (will need to do some research). Actually that made me a bit hesitant to pull the trigger on these. Doesn't sound like it'd be very easy to go back to stock after I bend the squirrel finders (wtf? Now you got me very curious).
