Default tsx retro head lights (55watt swap??)

hi i have a TSX retrofitted lense head light swap with what seems to be a 35 watt 4700 HID bulb..

is there a way to upgrade it to a 55watt ballasts and if so, would i have to replace the bulbs as well or can i just replace the ballasts?

if not and if i have to replace the entire bulb/ballasts, any D2S 55watt kit would work right?

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think if you upgrade ballast and stick with the 35w bulbs, it won't do anything much because the bulbs are already at max capacity. It's definitely doable and I've seen people with them. But if I were to upgrade ballast, might as well upgrade to some awesome Phillips DL50

DDM Tuning sells a 55wat kit i believe for a few extra $$$ compared to the 35w. the ballast is slightly larger as well.

I would assume it's the housing lens fault... that square spot on the upper left is just ridiculous...
