So, on that basis... why would one go with 55w? lol For two reasons. One, it's stress on your electrics that CAN be avoided. Two, you have to buy the WRONG kind of bulb to get the color you want.
So what's the point? lol
If it were my credit card/bank account that paid for your kit, I would return the 55w kit and get a 35w kit. Don't open the box any more than necessary, other than to verify which is which. The ballasts should indicate the wattage if you can't tell otherwise. Simply explain to them you got the wrong one and you wanted a 35w kit. I think they're cheaper too, no?

I had 8000K 55W in my truck. Had a little blue. If I had to guess, they are EXTREMELY close to 35W 6000K. I think you'll be very happy. My 55W were much brighter than 35W kits. Let me know how long those take to get to you.

Devil's advocate
After 3 years and 2 vehicles, I'm still on the original ballasts and bulbs. My fog light ballasts are literally hanging in front of the front tires and have been caked in mud and ice many times over the 3 years and are still running strong.
