Hi Rory,

"Many thanks for your enquiry. HID bulbs actually have no power

rating as it is actually the ballast unit that controls the

power and will produce the 55W light output. This is due to

these bulbs using xenon gas which produces an ark of light. You

have actually received the correct bulbs however the tags

should of been removed for which I can only appologise for the"

confusion caused.

Kind Regards

now i am a little bit confused there own website says below..

"Replacement 6000K 55W HID bulbs for the Pro Max Kit in H1 H3 H4 H7 H9 H11 H13 HB3/9005 and HB4/9006.

NOTE: THESE BULBS WILL ONLY OPERATE CORRECTLY IF YOU HAVE A 55W BALLAST UNIT"

I would think the vendor is probably correct in what he is saying. Its likely the ballast units determine the power output of the bulbs do to the high intensisty discharge. BTW a friend fitted a kit on his BMW and they are superb.
