Thanks.
5000k 35w from Retro-Solutions. Produces blueish light for about 20-30 seconds while warming up. At that point the light is perfectly white. I think the grabber blue paint makes the light look more blue than it actually is. Here's a different angle. Go between 0:06 and 0:32 and you'll see the dramatic difference in color.

That's really sick - I see what you're saying. So you're satisfied with the light output and do you think 35W is the way to go or 55W?

Thanks for you help.

Ps. Your grabber blue is BA.

I originally bought the 55-watt kit but before installing it had second thoughts that it would be too bright and returned it for the 35-watt kit. I'm glad I did! The 35 watt kit is very, very bright. No regrets at all. While the bulb capping helps reduce glare, the OEM reflectors still throw some light above the "cut off". This turns into glare and would only be amplified with 55 watts.

Thanks, we'd love to have stayed but its only money to them, they could care less. Change the terms at a drop of hat, even tried to illegally collect a debt from us that never existed due to their errors, thanks but no-thanks.

Absolutely, we'd love to take a look and see how well we'll fit with the community over there. Thanks for the suggestion.
