What is a HID conversion Kit?
HID (High Intensity Discharge) Conversion Kit is the latest concept in automotive light that provides 3 times more light on the road compared to traditional halogen headlights. Each light uses a tube of Xenon gas that emits a bright Bluish / White light when activated.

Advantages:
- Energy Saving - HID light consumes only 35W of electricity making them 3 times more efficient than halogen bulbs.
- Longer Life - HID light lasts over 3000 hours
- Plug & Play Connection - Easy and simple to install
- Safety - 300% increased visibility

Kit Contents
A typical HID conversion kit will consists of the following:

- 2 Xenon HID Bulbs (High Intensity Discharge bulbs)
- 2 Ballasts (High voltage generators used for powering HID bulbs)
- 2 Brackets (Used for mounting ballasts in engine compartment)
- 2 Direct Connector Wires (Plug & Play connection)
- Tie Cables & Adhesive Pads
- Installation Guide



How do I know what kit to buy?
Bulbs
With so many makes and models it is important that you check and make sure what type of bulb your vehicle uses. You can find this on the bulb itself, the bulb type and wattage will be printed or engraved into the base. The vehicle owner's manual may also tell you what type of bulb you need for your head lights.
Typical Bulb Sizes: H1, H3, H4, H7, H11, 9005, 9006

Temperature
The temperature of the bulb, measured in K (degree Kelvins), will also determine the color of the bulb. The higher the K value the bluer the light becomes. Color temperatures ranges from 3000K up to 12000K

6000K is most commonly used giving a Diamond White Light.

                                                      6000K                                                      8000K
