Message	1. 9005 AND 9006 kits are the same - they dont mean anything different in retrofit HID kit terms. in stock bulbs the 9005 does not have the black tip on the bulb, the 9006 do. 2. no 3. no real risk, but IMHO the whole 55w thing is pretty much fake. All OEM HID appilcations run @ 35w - I prefer to stick to what car manufactures use in their purpose built HID applications, rather then the "latest tuner HID trend" Bernie Bilski berniebilski@cox.net 1995 Nissan 300ZX TwinTurbo in Cobalt Green 1997 Nissan 240SX SE in Ultra Red ZCCNV #390 ~ ECZA #368
