HID Headlight Kits are The Perfect Choice for Enhanced Road Safety

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.

Use HID Kits to Ensure Safer Vehicle Driving

The High Intensity Discharge or HID kit is based on the technology of intense illumination occurring due to the sustained discharge across two tungsten electrodes immersed inside an atmosphere of Xenon or similar noble gases in a sealed tube of quartz.

The resultant light is 300% brighter than the standard halogen light and consumes 35% less current. In reality, the light from a HID kit is the closest to daylight. Daylight color temperature is around 4300k while that of standard halogen light is just 2300k. The color temperature figures for HID light can be anywhere between 4300k and 6000k or even higher.

There is a HID headlight kit available at the most affordable rate for just about every car on the road. To find out the equivalent kit in respect to your car, you can refer to the bulb guide. The average durability of the HID kit is several times more compared to the halogen kit. A HID bulb may last as much as for ten years or 3000 hours of use, while the halogen bulb’s average figures come nowhere near these.

The HID headlight kit is available with a warranty for a year, two years or even a lifetime depending upon your choice. It is easier to install these kits since no splicing is involved. However, there are video kits also available with the kits demonstrating the process of installation. Further, as these kits are dispatched from within the US, you will receive your ordered kit within a couple of days.

HID Headlights Make Driving Easier in Night

Human beings see best under daylight conditions that correspond to a color temperature of around 4300k. So far, motorists had to rely on the standard halogen light that has a color temperature of only 2300k. But with High Intensity Discharge light kits, all the problems of driving during the night time have been resolved. The HID headlights can actually enable the motorist to drive under virtual daylight road conditions during the night.

The HID light kits have a corresponding color temperature of a minimum of 4300k and this goes on to about 12000k. Therefore, the HID bulbs not only give an illumination that is thrice as powerful as standard halogen bulbs but also lead to lesser consumption of energy. The kit consist of two bulbs, two ballasts and two brackets for the ballasts.

There are HID conversion kits for almost all the cars that one sees on the road today. These kits are great to look at on the car and last on an average for about ten years and around 3000 hours of use. The standard halogen bulbs cannot even be near to these figures. These kits are simple to install as well and one will normally not need the services of a professional for the task. One can also order an instruction video for the installation, in case required. Each HID kit comes with a warranty for a year, two years or a lifetime. These kits are dispatched from inside the US. Your kit will therefore reach you within a couple of days.
