The High Intensity Discharge or HID kits are the most significant inventions in modern times for creating brighter highways at night. There are several ways in which the HID lights are better and safer when compared to the standard halogen lights. The halogen lights that one has been using so far failed on several counts. While the color temperature of daylight is around 4300k, that of halogen lights is around 2300k. Further, the halogen bulbs have filaments inside and this is a severe shortcoming on two counts.
Firstly, the halogen bulbs have a problem with their life and secondly with their high current consumption, both on account of the filaments. The HID kits on the other hand depend on the high intensity discharge between two electrodes of tungsten inside a fused tube of quartz filled with Xenon or similar gas. The resultant discharge is similar to that of lightening. The color temperature of the HID conversion kit is between 4300k and 6000k. The HID bulb may last for as long as ten years and 3000 hours of usage. The HID consumes 35% less current too.
There is an HID conversion kit for virtually all models and brands of automobiles. Each kit comes with two bulbs, two ballasts and two brackets to fit the ballasts. The kit comes with a standard one-year warranty and is fairly easy to install. You can find the HID kit equivalent for your car by checking up the bulb guide. Since the kits are dispatched from within the US, you will receive yours within a couple of days by FedEx.
