What type of H1 bulb should i buy?

For my projectors (like the ones found on ebay?) i keep hearing bad things about silverstar...however, when i'm driving down the street, theres this black hole in the street from the passenger projector it seems. So i figured it might be the light. And the color is not all that.. There are 6000k and i think they're 35w. Can i get some 7000k 55w for the projectors (like the one found on ebay)SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!

buy visionbulbs or uneek.

buying from china will surely end up with crap quality.
there are articles all over the net about poor quality HID knockoffs from asia.

vision bulb H1 true HID kits are plug and play with projectors. no special wiring needed. all H1 bulbs you buy that are not hids will also be plug and play. make sure you get 55w input. I had h1 bulbs that were 55watt input and had 130watt output and had no problems with melting harness or lense. I forgot the name of the bulbs tho but all H1's will work. also the higher the output wattage is the birghter they are...i believe. I noticed a big difference when i went from 55watt output to 130watt output.

ok, but when i asked Visionsbulbs about going from 35w which is stock i believe to 55w, they said i shouldn't do it because it would damage my wiring. but the projectors or lights have their own ballast which should prevent that right?

projectors have no ballast.
projectors come with regular 55w halogen bulbs.
a HID kit will come with bulbs, ballasts, and wiring, which you then wire in to replace the halogen bulbs.

If you have "hid lights" without a ballast....you have been duped by companys who like to pretend their silly halogen bulbs with blue tint on them are "hids"

they are not.
