The roads are very unsafe these days, especially during the night time. The reason is not that the traffic is unruly or that the roads are too rough. The reason is that the standard halogen bulbs that are being used are inadequate for road safety. Human beings can see well only during daylight conditions but not during night. Daylight has a color temperature of around 4300k while that of standard halogen bulb is only around 2300k.

This indicates that illumination offered by halogen is not adequate for the safety of the motorist. However, the High Intensity Discharge or HID kit has HID bulbs that have a color temperature between 4300k and 6000k and higher. Besides this, the HID bulbs last on an average of around ten years or 3000 hours of use. Since the halogen bulbs still use filaments, these are very poor in terms of life and durability. HID lights are durable and also consume 35% less current compared to the halogen bulbs. The HID kit also enhances the looks of your car.

There is therefore a HID headlight kit for virtually every car one sees on the road. To check out the bulb equivalent for your car, all you need to do is to refer to the bulb guide. Each HID headlight kit contains two HID bulbs, two ballasts and two brackets to mount the ballasts. It comes with a warranty for a year, two years or a lifetime depending upon your what you choose. The HID headlight kit is easy to install since there is no splicing involved and these kits are the plug-n-play kind.

 
The standard halogen lights have served motorists well so far. However, these have serious drawbacks that were realized only once the High Intensity Discharge (HID) light kits were invented. The standard halogen lights actually have several shortcomings. Firstly, these have filaments inside that need to be heated white hot for illumination to result. This method of creating light is uneconomical from the point of view of excess consumption of current.  Further, filaments being fragile resulted in a severe limitation in the life enjoyed by these bulbs. But, the biggest problem was due to the fact that halogen light has a color temperature of only 2300k compared to that of daylight which is around 4300k.

The HID light kits have a color temperature from 4300k to 6000k and beyond, these give an illumination that is thrice as powerful while consuming 35% less current when compared to the halogen bulbs. The HID kits are smart to look at and on an average they last for ten years or 3000 hours while halogen bulbs have a life considerably less.

There are HID conversion kits for virtually every car or model. One can find out the pertinent conversion kit applicable for one’s car quite easily by referring to the bulb guide. These kits have a warranty for a year, two years or a lifetime depending upon your choice. The HID conversion kits are easy to install as well. Although there is an instructional DVD that you may buy, you will generally not need any external help to carry out the installation process by yourself.
 
The High Intensity Discharge or HID kits are a wonder of science. The phenomenon of HID is unique and mimics the natural lightening in its process. HID involves the sustained high intensity discharge between two tungsten electrodes that are immersed in an atmosphere of Xenon or similar noble gases inside a sealed tube of quartz.

The important feature of HID kits is that the bulbs give out an illumination very similar to that of daylight. Even on other features HID scores very high against halogen bulbs. The illumination is three times as much in the case of HID as compared to that of halogen, while the current is 35% lesser. HID also lasts much longer and the kits look smart when installed in cars. Overall, these lights have numerous advantages over the ordinary halogen bulbs that makes them a preferred choice nowadays.

There is a suitable HID conversion kit for your car too. The bulb guide will tell you the equivalent bulb for any of the bulbs on your car. It comes with a warranty of a year, two years or a lifetime as you like. The HID conversion kit consists of two HID bulbs, two ballasts and two brackets. These kits are very easy to install,  especially since no splicing of any kind is involved. However, if you wish, you can also order the video of the installation process. These kits are supplied by hidnation.com from within the country and you will receive your ordered package within a couple of days.
