High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights are the latest brilliant things to happen to vehicular headlights since the halogen lights that preceded them. The HID xenon kits are bulbs sealed with xenon or other noble gases inside them. When a current is passed inside these kits it creates a spark that jumps between two electrodes in the quartz tube. This spark is similar to the nature of a lightening that is sustained due to the constant passage of current.
The HID light is therefore 300% greater in intensity when compared to the halogen bulbs. However, the best part of the HID kit that it does not have a filament unlike the standard halogen bulbs. Because of this, the average HID bulb lasts for as much as ten years or 3000 hours of use. Further, since there is no filament required to be heated, the HID light consumes 35% less electricity as compared to the halogen headlight.
The HID xenon kits come with a one year warranty. There is also a provision for you to exchange this warranty for a lifetime warranty as well. You can easily find out the equivalent HID kit for your car by referring to the bulb guide. The HID kit is the plug-n-play variety. Therefore, you will generally not need any professional help to install the HID. One of the best qualities of the HID kit is that the light is in the color range between 4300k and 6000k whereas daylight falls close to the 4300k range. On the other hand the halogen light falls in the 2300k color range. It is therefore safer to use the HID kit than the standard halogen one.
