Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 1m 28d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The hi/low on most HID's are via a solinoid that tilts the globe on an angle.The older type used a halogen for highbeams, these are fine to be 55w, it is the 55w HID that are not recommended.

Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 9m 22d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I read something in another HID thread about 50w globes being more flickery or glarey.I think it's in senna's HID sticky in the electrical section.

HID XR Member 99 Member For: 16y 3m 9d Gender: Male Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Quote Decisions, decisions. Will the 55w get too hot or will the 35w ones suffice for HID lamps Bixenon HILO?A hid globe runs cooler then a standard halogen globe Quote 50w will flicker too much.I don't know were you are getting the idea that a 55w HID will flicker maybe a cheap kit that pass off a 35w globe as a 55w globe Quote I think you will also find that the 50w are very illegal and very noticable.all HID in headlight are illegal apart from the factory and they have to meet the ADR ie. have selfleveling and have washer Quote The hi/low on most HID's are via a solinoid that tilts the globe on an angle.this is true they also mover in and out the very good kit have a filament for low and one for higha good 4500K 35w hid globe = about 170w of halogen and a 4500k 55w = about 270 halogen globehope this helpsteve Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/63636-hids/#findComment-954764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
