Need some final opinions (35W vss. 55W)

For my H1 Fog lights should I put in a 55W or a 35W system?

Pros for 55W
-More Lumen

Cons
-Washes out color
-More heat

Which would you guys do and what color temperature, I was planing on doing 6000K.

I am about to order it from DDM tuning.

Well I'm no expert but adding 20w current draw on something designed for 35w can't be good. I would go with 5000k, that will always look white but you can't say that all 6000k won't won't have a hint of blue. Yeah I know 6500k is daylight and "supposed" to be white we have all seen rice cars that look tacky. Not all bulbs are created equal.

+1. But it sounds like I'm late to the party.
