Question Luminics Bulbs

Just did some thinking and Im wondering if I bought the wrong bulbs.

Gonna replace the halos and fogs...
Bought H8 Luminics Ultra White bulbs (5150K)
Wattage draw = 35w (which from my understanding is correct, same as OEM)

BUT

Wattage/Light output = 110w (im not sure but does that mean it could put out too much heat and burn the halos out??)

really dang.. hopefully they work fine in the fogs otherwise $55 down the drain...

so as far as bulb selection for our angel eyes that dont throw codes, our choises are limited to:
GP Thunders & Mtecs???

I guess I'll go with Mtecs then, dont really like the blue tint look

Correct me if im wrong but dont the GP Thunders 8500k give off that blue light look??

Or since its only the angel eyes and not per se headlights, the blue tinit is not that noticeable?

thx nico
