Can't use the 55W in the smaller housings like fog lights. My HHR is 55W 8K headlight, 35W 6K in fogs. The 55W washes out some of the bluer color of the 8k so they then look similar to the 35W 6K's below. Same theory I used on my Ultra and it works, they look nearly perfect. They even suggest the same on their site.

On the fiesta, she has no fogs and her ford doesn't have any DRL or anything crazy. The headlights are plenty big... so its 55W 6K for the low & same for the highs. I knew she wouldn't want any blue coloring so the 55W 6k should look like a 35W 4k which is a good color for usefullness. The 6k is the start of blue and the higher you go the less "usable" light you have and get into more "show" color.

On the bike I wanted some blue to make it stand out and seen. On the HHR I just liked the combo and just for cosmetics I wanted the slight blue again.
