Road safety is of paramount importance when you have to select the right kind of headlights for your car. We have been using incandescent lights that gave little illumination and have poor durability. Similarly, the halogen bulbs that used to rule the roads, are also not that efficient. While daylight color temperature is around 4300k, that of halogen bulbs is quite low at 2300k. However, recently High Intensity Discharge (HID) light kit came into the scene and proved their worth over other lights & bulbs used for automobile lighting.
The HID light kit works on the principle of high intensity discharge occurring between two tungsten electrodes in a medium of Xenon gas inside a sealed quartz tube. The resultant illumination is comparable to daylight and indeed even the natural phenomenon of lightening. The HID has a color temperature upwards of 4300k. The HID headlight kits are therefore the perfect choice for road safety with a power of illumination that is 300% more than that of halogen light while requiring 35% less electricity. The HID lasts much longer too and its life on an average can be as high as ten years or 3000 hours of use.
Nowadays, HID headlight kits are available for almost all cars. These kits also serve to refine the looks of any car they are fitted on. The kits are easy to install and each kit comes with a warranty of a year, two years and even up to lifelong warranty. You can specify the color temperature while placing the order for the kit. The equivalent bulb can be checked up in the bulb guide. The installation is easy and normally one will not require the services of a specialist for installation.
