Help me please, question regarding HID and depot projectors back to stock - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ballast controls output.

So you can use any HID bulb with the 55W ballast ( I have the 55w ballasts but light ouput still isn't great. I do have 10k bulbs though they are supposed to wash out to 8k).

That's probably not due to the wattage, though... I'm thinking it could be because your color temperature is so high. The optimal color temp for HIDs (as far as light output) seems to be in the 4K-5K range.
