Kensun HID Xenon Headlight Conversion Kit
HID lights have a glass chamber of gas, replacing the filament of traditional halogen bulbs. The gas is ignited by a 23,000v charge and stays illuminated by a constant 12v source 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 35w HID lamp produces 3 times as much light than a 55w halogen bulb. Also, a halogen bulb uses a continuous power draw of 10-15 amps, while the HID system uses 20 amps for ignition, but then drops to a mere 3 amps during operation (i.e. up to 80% less power during use!).
In addition, the HID headlamp provides longer service life. With no filament to vibrate and fatigue, under normal conditions HID bulbs last roughly 10 times longer than halogen bulbs.
What is HID Color Temperature?
Color temperature is a characteristic of light that is sometimes mistaken as brightness, when it is more closely related to “cool” and “warm” tones of light. Color temperature is a measure in Degrees Kelvin of the hue of a light source, in this case the HID bulb. (The term color temperature actually refers to the color associated with the amount of heat needed to produce that color from an ideal black body.)
It is hard to describe HID colors accurately since many variables such as voltage, type of ballast and the environment can affect color output. Also, color perception is subjective. That said, here is a rough guide to Color Temperatures for HID bulbs:
- 3000K = Yellow
- 4300K = Bright white yellow tinge
- 5000K = Pure white
- 6000K = Bright white (some detect slight blue)
- 8000K = White with blue tinge
- 10000K = Light blue
- 12000K = Blue
- 15000K = Darker Blue (may appear violet)
- 20000K = Blue indigo
- 30000K = Indigo

Excellent… That pretty much sums it up After reading several reviews, I decided to make the leap into H.I.D. headlights with the Kensun conversion kit. I have a Tundra, and I have been running 100W halogen lights to get better visibility at night. The 100W halogens ended up baking my sockets and the wiring to my headlights… So, since I was going to have to work on it anyway, I decided to finally get some H.I.D. bulbs.The kit was very simple to install, not much in the way of directions but really it was very adequate…
Night and day difference PLEASE READ: HID lights are no longer on truck. They went out in less than a year. Yes, I know HID bulbs in regular lenses Blah blah blah, save it. they aren’t in there any more.Start product review:The 5000Ks are white once they warm up and only display the SLIGHTEST amount of blue. High-beams are more yellow when completely on.The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of the wiring that hooks into you factory wiring. There is not a clip that holds it into the housing,…
