Anyone tried these? This company also makes a nice LED conversion.

I have the DDM 55watt slims in my NSX for over 5+ years and still going strong. Then again, I don't use them that much.
I know my kit is definitely brighter than the 35watt kit I had by a larger margin, but I haven't put it to a volt meter to see the draw to be certain.
LEDs aren't quite there yet for automotive applications. Most advertised lumen outputs put the new 55w LED kits at the 35watt HID brightness levels. HID is still the way to go it terms of power, brightness, price and availability ... at least for now IMO.

Looks like you can get the kit on Amazon for $99 instead.

After closely examining the 75 watt kit on Amazon, it appears that theres no heavier wiring than 35/55 watt kits. I wish they offered 5000k.
The description states that the company offers color temps in: 4300K, 5000K, 6000K, 8000K, & 12000K
Can you explain more about what you mean about the wiring? It appears to come with a wiring harness and I hope it's at least 18 gauge wire.
If you look at the wires coming off the ballasts and the bulbs themselves, it looks no bigger than my wires on my 35 watt setup. So I assume there capable of 75 watts. I definitely will check on the 5000k kit. :wink:
How about these? I've been looking at these for months.
Maybe I should pull the trigger and test?
Those really don't look much different from the 35watt ones. Someone needs to open one up.
Would it be smart of have the ribs removed from the housing (and polished) to get a more even and smooth beam if you would switch to either HID or LED?
The main question I have with these higher output HIDs is, how much hotter do they run? I've seen enough ricer cars with burnt/melted housings.
I wouldn't. I used the stock housing when I switched my bulbs to HID's, and they work fine, with an even, smooth beam and a sharp cutoff, exactly what you want.Would it be smart of have the ribs removed from the housing (and polished) to get a more even and smooth beam if you would switch to either HID or LED?
