Have a look through this HID Thread thread should answer all your questions.

In flicking I did see that 55w seem to burn off faster, but that was just one comment. I haven't read the whole thread.

I have 2 55w sets. I have had to replace one ballast due to water damage but other than that, not a problem. And they were only $70 each
