What is the Hi-Beams Wattage?
I am in the market for new Hi-Beams and I know the stock HID's are 35w, but what are the Hi-Beams wattage? Thanks

It just so happens, I've been doing research into HIDs. I want to upgrade the headlights in my Jeep.
The wattage is the same for low and high beams. The direction of the light coming out of the projector is changed. If you want to get more light, you'll have to find a way to put 55 watt projectors and ballasts in there.

I thought you had a HID equipped model. Halogen bulbs are usually 55/60 watt. Higher wattage ones are available.
