I'd stick with the factory 35W just to be safe, But I know with the 55W your desired color will be washed out a bit more.

And I tried searching for instructions on how to change the headlight bulbs and found none, On a lot of newer cars the headlight bulbs are accessed behind the fender liner, If you can't reach them from the top then I'm pretty sure that's going to be your safest bet.

Sorry I couldn't help you much with those questions... I just know what I can find through searching here, google and reading the manuals.

MrGrumpy has changed his stocks to 5500K, It wouldn't hurt to PM him and ask him what was the best method of reaching the headlight bulbs. (and report back because that 5500K made a huge difference)

Just putting information out there for the future for anyone that wants to do this. Our stock HID bulbs are 35W 4300K D3S bulb size. They're very easy to remove and can be replaced with just a plug and play. Here are some pictures of the stock bulb fittings and the size information on the back of the bulb. For anyone that wants to replace their bulbs should go with this information.

The bulb should come out when you twist it and detach from the blade connectors. Do not touch the bulb w bare hands. Replace it with the new bulb . Check youtube

Yea I know that but I'm talking about unplugging the bulb. Idk how to unplug it properly. If there's a YouTube video then that would help.

I figured it out. I was just scared because the connection is so sensitive that's the only why I was asking
