So if I go with the Bi-xenon FX-R Stage 3 Projector headlight Retrofit System? What ballast size do I choose Morimoto 3Five or 5Five? Sorry I'm new to this and want to be sure I get everything right.

I recommend trucklites because I know how durable they are. When I upgrade my headlights the trucklites are the ones I'll be getting. When I was deployed to Iraq our MRAPs had trucklites as the head lights and our halo lights (mounted on top to spot IEDs) they are tough and can survive the shockwave from a IED blast and our company had a lot of trucks get hit or close to getting hit by IEDs. Such a shame we threw away a bunch of them when our FOB got shut down, what a waste.

That is completely up to you. The morimoto ballasts are awesome though. The 35w is what the projector was designed for. Brighter isn't always better with a projector. I recommend looking at videos on YouTube of the fx-r and 35w ballasts vs 55w.

I like the 55w myself. But only with bulbs that can handle the boost. If I were you and wanted to do it right. Osram cbi is the bulb I'd go with. Pricey but easily the bright bulbs to date. Have a very bright white light with a hint of blue.
