Acetylene lights were replaced by incandescent bulbs that were ultimately replaced by the standard halogen bulbs. Today, it is the age of the HID xenon kit. HID or High Intensity Discharge bulbs have overcome all the problems that troubled the automobile lights so far. Though the halogen bulbs did make waves when they came, due to their higher luminosity as  compared to the incandescent bulbs, they still suffered from the problem due to the filaments. The filaments remained the weak area in halogen bulbs. In the HID headlight kit however there are no filaments. There are noble gases such as xenon among others that are compressed into a capsule at the two ends of which are electrodes.

The ballast from the HID xenon kit supplies electric charge to the electrodes. The ignition that results, lights up the noble gases, just as in a lightening across the sky. The light emanated is similar to daylight and this is why the HID light is safe for headlights and safety. The HID kit lasts ten years on an average and for 3000 hours of usage. HID light is 300% more powerful than the standard halogen bulb. Today, there are HID kits available for almost all automobiles and motorcycles. The HID headlight kit for automobiles consists of two bulbs, two ballasts and two brackets for the ballasts. You can find out the equivalent kit for your vehicle by checking the bulb guide. These kits are easy to instal and you will generally not need any professional help. Each HID kit comes with a year’s warranty and the company is located inside the US. There will be no delay in the receipt of your order.
