HID lights have a glass chamber of gas that replaces the filament of traditional halogen light bulbs. The gas is ignited with an approximately 23,000 volt charge and stays illuminated by a constant 12v source that is provided by a ballast which is connected directly to your battery. Remarkably, HID lights are able to provide greater light output with much less power consumption. Studies show that a 35 watt HID lamp produces 3 times as much light compared to a 55 watt halogen bulb. Moreover, the 55 watt halogen bulb uses a continuous power draw of 10-15 amps, while the HID system uses 20 amps for starting up, but then drops down to a mere 3 amps during operation (that is up to 80% less power during use!). In addition to high output and low power usage, the HID headlight provides longer service life. With no filament to vibrate and fatigue, under normal driving conditions, HID bulbs last roughly 10 times longer than halogen bulbs. What is the HID Color Temperature? Color Temperature is a measurement in Degrees Kelvin that indicates the hue of a light source, in this case the HID bulb. Color temperature is a characteristic of light that is sometimes misunderstood as brightness, when it’s more closely related to cool and warm color tones of light. While cool and warm are words used to describe a light’s temperature, this may be a bit misleading. The term color temperature actually refers to the color that is associated with the amount of heat needed to produce a color in from an ideal black body. Here is a rough guide to Color Temperatures for our HID bulbs (It is hard to describe HID colors accurately because different people tend to perceive colors slightly differently): 3000k= Yellow, 4300k= Bright White with a hint of yellow, 6000k= Pure white light (some people detect a slight blue), 8000k= White light with a blue tinge, 10000k= Light blue, 12000k= Deeper Blue, 30000k= Violet/Purple.

Better than any Halogen, and Cheaper! I bought these lights to install in my wife’s 2008 Honda Pilot, and let me say, they are great. The 8000k slight blue tint light matches the LEDs that are installed in here DRLs and Signals, making the lights all match. They were really easy to install, just had to remove the old bulbs, twist these in, find a place to mount the hanger bracket (drilling holes if needed) and plugged it all up using the original harness from the old bulbs.. Took about 35 minutes to get both sides done. They…
Relay harness is a must Here’s the real truth to save you allot of time and headaches. This is not a plug and play setup, you might get both lights to work but chances are one or the other will malfunction or they will flicker or you can’t get them to come on everytime. The reason for this is inadequate power the ballast are not very reliable I’ve yet to stumble across an affordable ( under $100 ) plug and play setup that works all the time without a relay harness.I’ve lowered my rating to a 2 because it’s…
Super cheap and look great. Easy to install, but could fit a little better. Just bought and installed the 8k kit in a 2010 fusion sport. They look great, but have yet to see them in the dark. Istallation was pretty easy for the most part. Although after getting the passenger side bulb in, which by the way on the fusion sport is a huge pain, that side didn’t work. After switching polarity and checking again, it still didnt work. So after i took the light back out and tried that ballast on the drivers side, it still wasn’t working. I thought i had a bad ballast. After…
