55W's are a little brighter but also create more heat.

For fogs, definitely stick to 35W.

OK thanks a bunch man. I'll refer my father to retrosource since he wants to change out his stock HID for 8K and fogs to 6K also. I'll send you a PM I have a question in regards to my Max.

One more question about installing the relay since it is connected directly to the battery how does it not draw power from the battery when the car is off?

It will only draw when triggered by the factory harness.
