HID question-please help!

Would a 35 watt high intensity discharge bulb be as bright or brighter then a 65 watt halogen bulb?

The answer is Yes, as long as your talking about real hid's and not those ricer bulbs that say xenon or hid on them.

heck yeah, and to use less power to output more light, can't ask for anything more.

and plus
"once you go hids, you can't go back to halogens"

IMO!!

I went back to halogen for some time. I sold my HIDs after DKN6 and just put some back in now.

but yeah 35W HID is brighter than 65W halogen, since halogen is less efficient and more of that wattage gets used to produce heat than light. 35W HID is more efficient with more light and less heat
