I have mine from DDM Tuning. 10k is not super bright. If you really want the blue just go with the 8k. Mine are 6k 55w in the headlights and 35w in the fogs.

10K is purple. when you choose color, you should have used us as a reference. Cameras cannot capture the light of HIDs correctly.

It was around $140 back around December I believe. They have a lifetime warranty. The 55 watt is going to have more watts going to the bulb.

pros and cons of 55w and 35w

55W looks whiter and wash out the blue hint.
You will find that a 55W kit will give you more glare in a reflective headlight given that the arc is bigger. A 55W kit will offer you slightly more light output than a 35W system however in a reflective headlight, glare will be an issue. 55W ballasts are not as efficient as 35W ballasts meaning that you will have shorter ballast life given that the ballast has to work harder.

Audi guys use this site http://www.vvme.com/ cheap and long lasting. All the ones posted look like crap, I can't stand HIDs without the http://store.theretrofitsource.com/. Do it right or don't do it at all.
