The High Intensity Discharge or HID light kit has revolutionized the way our highways appear at night. In the earlier days with the standard halogen light there was always a risk whenever one drove at night. With High Intensity Discharge or HID light the entire scene has changed since the HID phenomenon is something similar to that of lightning. While daylight color temperature is around 4300k and that of HID headlight kits is between 4300k and 6000k that of halogen is only around 2300k.

The HID light kit therefore gives you 300% more light and consumes 35% less power compared to the halogen light. The HID lasts far longer too and it is not unusual to find the HID bulb lasting for as much as ten years and 3000 hours of use. The kits also impart a smart look to the cars. There are HID headlight kits for the Asuna and BMW, the Buick, Cadillac, Chrysler, Daihatsu and the Alfa Romeo as well as the Ducati, Honda and the Hummer besides almost all the other cars on our roads.

The HID light kit consists of two headlight bulbs, two ballasts and two brackets for mounting the ballasts. These kits are easy to install since they are of the plug and play kind. All HID kits come with a standard one-year warranty that you can also exchange for the lifetime warranty. For finding out a HID equivalent for a bulb all you need to do is to check out the bulb guide. Each HID kit has a specification such as 3000k, 6000k and 8000k. These refer to the associated color temperatures. Therefore, 3000k is associated with the yellow color while the 8000k refers to the baby blue or light blue color.
