In every respect, the High Intensity Discharge light kits have an edge the standard halogen lights. The halogen bulbs use filaments that are heated till they start radiating light. Whereas, the HID bulbs do not have any filament and therefore the electricity is not used in heating the filament. In HID light kits, are two tungsten electrodes placed inside a fused quartz tube that is filled with Xenon or similar noble gases.

When electricity is applied to the electrodes, there is a discharge that leaps across them in the process of ionizing the gas. It is this ionization that actually causes the illumination producing a light as powerful as daylight. While daylight has a color temperature of around 4300k, that of the HID bulbs is between 4300k and 6000k and even higher. In respect to the human eye, 4300k is the brightest color temperature while standard halogen has a color temperature of around 2300k.

There are HID conversion kits for almost all kinds of cars and their models. Each kit contains two HID bulbs, two ballasts and two brackets. You can find out the equivalent kit for your car by checking out the bulb guide. Each kit is accompanied by a warranty certificate and an instruction leaflet for the installation. The warranty is valid for a year, two years or a lifetime depending upon your order. The installation of these HID conversion kits is simple and using the instruction leaflet for installation makes the process a child's play. However, just in case you have a requirement, an instruction video kit is also available for more assistance.
