35w HID is more than enough. Most HID's out there are 35w.

I would also recommend NOT getting 55w because they are way too bright, 35w is more than enough, 55w of HID lighting is just blinding and harder to concentrate the lighting properly on the road.

I am in the same boat if anyone could help. Didnt want to make a new post for the same question. I have the 09 with the premium package so would I need to replace the whole HID kit or just the bulb if I want to run 6k bulbs. Im looking for a more blue color right now they are white with a tint of yellow.

Does your car have HIDs? If it does, all you need is to change the bulbs.

Do your fog lights look like your headlights when they are on?

If so, you got halogens.
If not you got HID's.

Here's a pic with HID's in the headlights (the ones in the picture are bluer tho) and the halogen fogs...
