HID kits


HID kits

The HID conversion kit is to upgrade now to same lighting system as seen on cars such as BMW, Lexus or a Porsche. The HID conversion kit is a revolutionary concept in automotive lighting which provides 3 times more light on the road rather then the traditional halogen head lights. Each of these light uses a tube of Xenon gas, and a smaller amount of other noble gases which is been placed between two high voltage electrodes. When these electrodes are been activated it starts omitting either a bright blue or a white light. These are used to regulate the flow of the electricity which provides a high intensity beam which will never fluctuate.

HID conversion kits use internal igniter technology which is almost similar to other products which are produced in Germany. These kits come with 2 * ballasts to fit the car headlights and if you are planning to go for a cheaper one it will only contain only 1* HID bulb and 1* ballast. The bulb would be brighter, whiter light, stretching the meters ahead of the car which ensures the improved clarity of the vision in comparison to halogen lighting systems and it makes the driving less tiring in the evening and at night and therefore it is been considered as safer. Once you have driven with the HID conversion kit you would never like to drive a car with any other dim dirty yellow halogen head lamps. It is 300% brighter than the average equivalent 60 watt halogen lighting. It has a 6000 k day light colour temperature and has a 3000 hours of life too, and comes with high quality kits and it is absolutely CE approved and it would draw only a 35 watts which would be simple to install, plug and play wiring harness, and it has waterproof connections for external uses also, and it is juts simple to use and install and they are fully and magnetically EM shielded so that no interference will happen with on board electronics etc. unlike the other cheaper HID systems. And these HID conversion kits are completely suitable for use on dipped and high beam applications and it is completely unlike any other systems on the market.

The advantages of the conversion kit are longer life; safety; appearance; and it comes right from 3500 k to 10000 k and these kits can be easily upgraded with no other additional equipment. Robert is the owner of HID kit. You can find more information at Xenon kit.
