Message	1: there is no need for you to use a 9005 HID kit on your low beams, because brightness will remain the same. 2: read number 1 3: there is no risk on running 55W kit on either 9006 or 9005, however there is a difference in brightness. I have both the 35W and the 55W kits from DDM on my Z's and there is a difference in brightness. I will be replacing the 35W for a 55W this weekend. NOTE: there is a fitment issue with the bulb but it requires minimal modification to get it sitting right. (its normal for any kit below $120 to have this problem) Rob
