Back on track... The extra wattage would create extra heat and it will for sure thow an error on the dash.

in addition to the 55w it might be too much for the housing and generate too much heat thus possibly warp the reflector housing.

^yup, that's what I was most worried about. More heat = bad result. I'd stick with 35w, which is more than enough for HIDs.

this can be the same for the wires too. more power going through the wires = more heat. i have heard of guys melting their wiring harness for their headlights because they put higher rated bulbs in.

I have 35W HIDs in my fogs. While recently speaking to an HID manufacturer, they told me that there really isn't much of a difference between 35W and 55W. They just have more of a current draw, and produce much more heat. If you want to see a 55W kit in action, check out forum member Lightwerkz on m3forum.net who has 55W in his low beams and has a custom lighting company.
