A little late to respond as I don't frequent here much because the wife won't really let me touch her car, but I did do a 35w 9012 kit and am pretty happy. If I knew at the time there was 55w kits that were reliable like I do now I probably would have gone that route just for the extra output. The beam cutoff is so sharp on these cars that even with the brighter output I wouldn't be concerned about blinding anyone if adjusted properly. I'm sure it's too late but wanted to try and help anyways.
