Somebody correct me if Im wrong.
35 watt is street legal, 55 isnt.
4300, 5000, 6000 etc. all refer to the Kelvin Temperature, thus affect the color of the light from yellow-white-blue-purple etc.
As temp increases, light intensity drops thus I wouldn't go higher than 6000K (personal choise, since I do alot of night/bad weather driving and visibility is more important for me than looks).
Just search "HID" on this forum and you will come across several HID retrofit examples.
Some kits will require drilling a hole on the headlight back cover (dont worry, kit comes with a gromet and long enough wires), but I managed to squize mine in without any modifications. It is not much harder that replacing burned out bulb, plug n play.
Hope it helps.
