55w safe for tahoe?

[jsmith]

Im going to go with some of your products (2010 tahoe).


Questions:
1. the 55watt HID's are SAFE in the stock headlight assembly/housing, right? No melting, or discoloration? If so, why does anyone even bother with the 35w?
2. I also will be going with the 25watt 5202 fogs. Per your description, they are as safe as halogen (through the prism of temperature comparison), correct?
3. I see on your website that my vehicle needs the relay for fogs only......... so the headlights are fully plug and play, no flickering?
4. No reports of error codes with the newer tahoes?
5. I dont see 5000k as an option on the website...do you have the h11's and the 5202's in 5000k?
6. I see that there is apparently a difference in 07-09 vs. 2010 fog kits, why?
ETA:
7. Just realized im not sure what wattage the h11 kit you offer is.... 35 or 55 ?

1. 55's are safe in most all housings except for smaller fog applications, but 55's are bound to eventually cause some sort of discoloration in the chrome housings, then again even 35's like ours (because ours are strong in intensity) could do the same down the line.

2. Yes, our 5202 25w kits have not caused any issues for any of our customers ever since we did the full switch to lower wattage bulbs (which no one carries) and our lower wattage ballasts.

3. In the end you will really need the relay harness for your low beams only due to their DRL's, but now with our new kits for your fogs you should be fine without the relay harness, in the end we have seen it might be risky to even use a relay harness for those fog applications.

4. No issues there and we also have a retail shop and lots of installs on the newer truck's and suv's.

5. Our 4,300k is the 5,000k now, it just takes some time to switch all the descriptions on the websites, but we are on it.

6. Not really any difference, just a year separation to distinguish certain models.

7. All kits on the website right now are 35w, if you want 55w the option to add the 55w's instead is going up.

thanks for the quick and detailed reply oscar.


So the bottom line is : i dont need relays for the h11's, nor the fogs. right?
And i can order 4300k, but it will really be 5000k when i get them ?

thanks!
