[QUOTE="jarance, post: 458680, member: 21"] what is a 5 ohms fuse? Do you mean a 5 amp fuse? What is the in rush current and running current for your 50W ballast. btw, taking a supply from a battery is different from taking a supply from the alternator. battery 12VDC, alternator + battery 13 to 14.5 VDC. btw, what the kelvin rating of the 35W HID as compare to the 50W HID. I am surprise that you can tell the difference of 30% by looking directly at the HID light. Honestly, I wouldn't do that. i.e looking directly at the HID source. It just like looking at the sun without eye protection. Try to get a Lux meter to measure the brightness. BTW, I dont think anybody say that the cables would melt if you use 55W HID. Most car are design to use 55W halogen bulb so the current or ampere for HID and Halogen bulb should be the same. The problem of cable melting is when you change the bulb to 110W. [/QUOTE]
