I've been running a cheapy Xentec HID conversion in my '04 for a while now. I embarrassingly just got them for the "look." They are very bright, but I have to aim them down so far as to not offend oncoming traffic that they're pretty useless at night. I am seriously considering switching back to traditional halogens. :/
I know the general consensus is to order OSRAM Silverstars (not the crappy Sylvania Silverstars from WalMart). I was going to order from SUVlights. Someone on VWvortex just posted that he put 65w Osram Hyper Clear bulbs in and they're very bright. The stock wattage is 55, would any harm be done if I tried the 65w bulbs? Or should I just stick to the 55w Silverstars? Or if you have another recommendation, I'm listening. Thanks!
