adjuster wants to change stock 35W HID for aftermartket 55W including ballasts to have more light.
I would not bother doing it and it might throw up errors as well. Just get new original bulbs they should be brighter then old aged bulbs.

Also going to add 35 watt HID fog lamps. (The smaller housing of the fog lamp makes using the 55 watt system suspect to melting the fog lamp...)

HID bulbs put out less heat then halogens, they convert more of energy into light that why are so much brighter so no need to worry about melting. If you do put HID's in fogs I recommend going for more yellow colour 4300K or less. 600k does not work that good in fog and 4300K also have the most light output.

I've read that the 55 watt HID setup puts out something like 5000 times the light of a standard 55 watt halogen bulb. (The 35 watt HID is about 3000 times more light.)

35W HID is around 3000-3500 lumens, 55W halogen is 900-1300 lumens so around 3 times.

I'm told the dazzle problems in fitting aftermarket HIDs is that the existing reflector is designed for an incandescent bulb and the HID does not fit exactly and gives a lot of scatter, hernce dazzle for others.

I have only see it happen with H4 lamps, I suppose it might be true with some others. But they work very well in projector type lights.
