This belongs in your model specific forum just fyi. 55 watt can put of more heat which can burn up/melt things. And it's always better to use a relay but not necessary.

And asking what bulb,really? Go out to your car and pull one out and find out.

you will need to cut wires switching ballasts i think, why not just get bulbs? something wrong with your ballasts?

If you use a 55w ballast, you need to upggrade factory harness.

its most likely a d2c bulb like most of the newer acuras and there is never a need to upgrade to a 55w bulb do to the fact that 35w applications produce more than enough light coverage and unless you buy a cheap ebay hid kit you dont need to run relays on them due to the fact that it will be plug and play but if you get a blinking or flickering then you would run a resistor and relay harness inline
