Eddieandkat Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Hi all. Wanting to upgrade to HID on the 2010. Looking for opinions on wattages for Low beams, Hi and Fog lights. Was thinking 35 watt on low beam . 55 watt on high beam and not sure on fog, 35 or 55...What are your thought opinions on this or experiences... im also looking at 5000k for all. Also wattages for led's for the interior...Thanks guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Because of the warm up time on the balasts, I opted to leave the halogens in the high beam. If I could go back and do it again, I'd do 55 watt low beams, just because we have reflector housings, so the beam will be a bit jagged. Having the jaggedness further out would be helpful. 35 watt is still great, don't get me wrong. 5000k is optimal, in my opinion, as I think it looks the classiest and doesn't limit visibility much at all. I have a blue edge, so I think it'd have been fun to do 6000k for kicks, but I'm not complaining. I'm not so sure on the fogs, but 5000k is good for actual fog, but it doesn't matter if you just want them to match. I wanna say that they can only do 15 watts down there.. but maybe I'm wrong. DDM, Torimoto, and RetroSolutions are the three you'll find here on the forum. I own RetroSolutions and haven't had any issues with them. Install took 30 minutes.

Eddieandkat Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks wannabang for your response. Your input gave me some ideas and i will use them..When i said fog i ment to say driving lights. ill have to check on the 15 watt thing..Im sure your Edge would look good with the 6000. Thanks for the names of some sellers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 No problem. My profile gallery will have mounting locations in pictures for you, and if you need any help, the forum has plenty of HID install threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinzII Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I had the high beam HIDs in my '08 Edge and enjoyed the added brightness. But wannabang is correct in that the ballasts do take a little time to warm up. Plus, you will not be able to blink anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I flash people all the time, but mostly just to let them know there's a cop ahead. If you don't mind losing that ability, I'm sure it won't bother you and you'll enjoy the superb brightness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
