I have purchased multiple kits from this vendor. They only carry genuine Philips products. You can find less expensive kits but you get what you paid for. http://www.hid-online.com/

35W works. do you have the right bulb size?

55W on a halogen projector would blind everybody in the road

35W does already, what more 55W?!?

so either the ballast or the bulbs are defective.

does the ballast buzzes once you turn them on?

A $15 dollar HID harness might do the trick for you, I have a High/Low DDM tuning setup. The DRL/Hi-beam requires a HID harness sold separately tp power it or else your DRL will just flicker and turn off or not turn on at all.

I am planning on buying the HID kit 35w from DDM Tuning. Can anyone tell me what I would need to purchase exactly for the headlights? Any harnesses anything additional that DDM offers?
