Yours is 35W HID kit. Majority of the HID on the market now is 35W. Unless you own a real 55W HID kit, you won't notice the difference. You get only abut 10% more brightness fro 55W compare to 35W. Most of all 55W is much more expensive the 35W.

Decent and average HID kits runs from $110~$180. I got mine for $130 plus shipping. Got it a year ago and had not problems with mine. From my experience never buy any HID kits that's below $100. Although the pricing is very attractive, but you have to realize you get what you paid for. I've brought a kit that was like $80 and it caused me a lot of problems. Such as HID bulb goes dead after a short use, hearing zapping sounds from the ballast and once in awhile will have blinking lights.

I was just giving my experience on low cost HID I brought before. I was not as lucky as "achap" on the cheaper HID. I am not saying all low cost HID is bad, I'm just sharing my experience. I had no issues with the $130 kit I brought early last year.
I also recently brought another kit as Christmas gift for $120 and so far no problems.
I would suggest doing some research before you investing. Ask around for a reputable seller. This will save you a lot of time and avoid unwanted issues. Btw, I saw a new post today for $100 HID. It sound like a good deal.

Your ballasts wont last long like that. THey need direct draw from the battery (a wiring harness), the stock wires cannot support the voltage these ballasts demand.

Using relays will always work.
The ballast we manufacturer will work fine on single beam and Hi/Lo. No need to use relay. Unless it's Bi-Xenon then relay is required.
