Well, it provides power directly from the battery using heavier gauge wires, and only uses the factory wiring to trigger the relay. Basically better current, and better wires reduces flickering, failures to ignite and protects the factory wiring from melting due to too much current (although I hear that is near impossible to do with a 35W kit, I played it safe).
mine are 6k all 4....35k digital...got mine from Apexcone...(UltrabrightHIDs.com) their ballast kept crapping out after 5 time sending them back...i now have 2 digital and 2 analog bulk styles LOL...but they work great now....customer serv. was really good though...just all the middle men in the HID bizz is frustrating!!

yeah i live in a valley with lots of fog and they are great.
i would definitely stay with the 35w kit. the 55w kit is more for motorcycles that need high output for such a small reflector housing. 55w is also incredibly, overkill status bright. i woul also stick between 4300k and 6000k on the color temperature. any lower is yellow and any higher is stupidly blue and the light output fades considerably.

) I'm wishing I would have gone with the 4.5k cause of the blue tint when hitting street signs (WTF Cops what did I do.. oh wait those are my headlights)

Hey All, been a lurker here for a while learning all i can about my 06 GP GXP. The light brightness is one thing, but how is the glare with the headlights? Some of the photos show a lot some none, but the again cameras always get headlight glare.

Thanks mike, ive seen some pretty horrible conversions and don't want to be "that guy" thats blinding people on the other side of the road and a half mile up.
I didn't buy the error eliminator and I haven't had any problems. I searched the forum before I bought anything and couldn't find anyone on here that had a problem so it shouldn't be an issue.

Maybe its year specific?
I doubt its year specific cause it told me in both GP's i had. When the bulb would go out it would bug the hell out of me till it got fixed. It tells you exactlly which bulb is out.
