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.
