How hard is the install on this? Is it pretty much plug and play?

So where/how do you mount the ballast? or do you just let it sit on the plastic panel as the space behind the fog is limited?

Great...another tempting mod.
So what's the main difference between the 35W and 50W in terms of brightness? Is there any? They're both 6000k, right? Other than the 35W being slimmer, what's the downside to it (if any)?

Go with the 50W. It's a lot brighter and well worth the few extra bucks. They are both 6000k and will match the color of your stock xenons. No down side to the slimmer 35W.

Yes Al's right, they'll match perfectly. Want a set of the 50W? ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)

I don't have stock xenons. I have 6000K xenons. Will these now match perfectly? I would assume so, no?
