Yeah, they don't exactly give them away, do they? You'll get a lot of strong opinions with this question. From what I've read, those who've taken the inexpensive route seem to prefer Naxos or Sylvania Silverstar bulbs. They are direct replacements for factory halogens, meaning they operate on direct 12V and therefore do not require a ballast/igniter. However, many argue that these produce a li...

The HID specification says that every HID must have an interrupt IN endpoint, which suggests that the HID should have an Input report. ..........com

Often times, this problem results in one of two occurrences. One possible result is that nothing happens at all when you switch from your HID low beams to your car's high beams. Another is that all of the headlights go out when you switch to your car's high beams. Either way, there's no reason to panic. This usually happens as a result of a connector polarity issue. Different car producers use dif...

LED fixtures must be designed with junction temperature thermal management as a key component and use the correct LEDs. These products will then be robust enough to operate in most ambient temperature applications. Unlike fluorescent sources, cold temperatures do not impact the performance of LEDs. ..........com

Unlike previous technologies, LED manufacturers have a much greater impact on the rate of lumen depreciation based on their luminaire designs. Thermal design plays a critical role in the rate of lumen depreciation. Therefore you should see variation in lumen depreciation from manufacturer to manufacturer, as well as within different product families offered by the same manufacturer. ............

Led light bulbs are much brighter than incandescent or halogen bulbs of the same wattage, but led bulbs are not available in very high wattages. Thus, when replacing incandescent or halogen lamps with led lamps, more led lamps are often needed. For example, to replace one 100-watt incandescent bulb you may need two 5-watt or 6-watt led bulbs. Although you have more bulbs you are still using 85% le...

Led bulbs available for standard fixtures vary in brightness from less than 50 lumens up to about 1200 lumens. The brightest led bulbs for standard fixtures are the floodlights and spotlights. The brightest of these uses about 25 watts and produces light comparable to a 120-watt incandescent. ..........com

The life span of an LED is vastly longer than that of incandescent, fluorescent or HID lamp sources, generally lasting 50,000 hours or longer. Although the LED never really burns out, product life span is measured by lumen depreciation.The Illuminating Engineering Society's (IES) current standard for calculating the life of an LED as the point at which the LED reaches 30 percent lumen depreciation...

LED is a very sustainable light source due to its high efficacy and long life potential, with the efficacy of LED chips continuing to increase dramatically. Well-established LED sources, commonplace in the market today, can deliver products with a system efficacy of more than 60 lumens per watt in a high quality warm white light (including losses accrued through the driver and thermal management)...

The manufacturers of LED’s and their drivers claim 50,000 hours, defined as the LED operating at more than 70 % of its output. While this is not a formal standard, it is the level, or criteria, being used throughout the lighting industry. ..........com

All originally supplied XENON H.I.D. lighting systems from automotive manufacturers use a dual bulb configuration for High and Low beam. A traditional halogen bulb is used for the High beam while a XENON H.I.D. lamp is utilized for the Low beam. Our kits are intended to replace the Low-beam components of the lighting system while still keeping the High beam halogen bulb fully operational.Some veh...

For a straight plug-and-play you want the 9006 kit. Using the kit that fits the OEM headlights is very common, but not recommended due to the amount of light scatter - creating glare and intense light in other drivers' eyes.

Yes. But it is strongly recommended that you do not. Although it may not seem so, directing the light produced by a headlight bulb to the right places requires a good deal of precision. Reflector assemblies on cars that come equipped with halogen bulbs are made to direct the light produced by halogen bulbs correctly. Replacing those bulbs with hid bulbs that produce three times the light yields a ...

Some vehicles are wired backwards, with a halogen bulb it doesn’t matter what way the power is connected, (-to+) or (+to-) because it is a filament. An HID kit is polarity sensitive, so it can only be connected one way. Simply flip the plug (a) that powers the ballast the other way and it will work. Don’t worry about hooking it up backwards because the ballast has a safety feature to protect itse...

Windows 2000 and later have exclusive read/write access to HIDs that are configured as a system keyboards or mice. An application can obtain a handle to a system keyboard or mouse by not requesting READ or WRITE access with CreateFile. Applications can then use HidD_SetFeature and HidD_GetFeature (if the device supports Feature reports). ..........com

On many higher-end and newer vehicles, computer chips regulate headlight function and cut off engine power to aftermarket components. You'll need to bypass the engine and directly connect the HIDs to the vehicle's battery in order to make them work...........com

Pop open the hood. Make sure all the connections and wires are hooked up properly and aren't damaged in some capacity. If that's not the source of the problem, check the bulb itself for any damage or interference. Still not getting the light to turn on? Check the vehicle's fuses, and make sure they haven't been blown. Remember, a 30mA fuse is required for use with HID components. If the fuses too ...

To prevent damage to the HID setup, the HID ballast contains a computer chip that can detect issues such as electrical surges, unexpected jumps in voltage, and power deficits. High temperatures can also trigger the chip to react. What the chip does is shut down, entering a sort of safety mode. This usually resets within 3 minutes. If this happens to you, shut down your car's headlights, wait abou...

You may have overwhelmed your vehicle's fuses by installing these HID upgrades. You need to make sure you're using 30mA fuses, which should be included in your HID kit. If you're not using them already, equip them, and then try the lights again. ..........com

HID lights produce about twice as many lumens (measure of light) as traditional halogen bulbs, allowing drivers to have increased visibility. This applies to direct visibility and corner visibility, because the brighter lights increase the width of the light beam ..........com

General concensus is that flashing your HIDs, alarms flashing your HIDs, turning your HIDs on and off in short periods reduces bulb life and damages your ballast. According to research, turning HIDs on and off more than 3 times per hour reduces bulb life...........com

For vehicles using a single H4, 9004, and 9007 bulb for both low and high beam , you will lose your high beam functionality. You may keep high beam functionality by purchasing one of our 'BiXenon' kits. ..........com

No, they won’t. HID lights actually operate at lower temperatures than Halogen lamps. The color temperature so often talked about only refers to the color of the light not the actual temperature the bulb emits. ..........com

Your vehicle may require a canbus HID kit if it is a European car, or even a Chrysler. Some vehicles also have daytime running lamps that only supply 6 volts to the ballast during the day time. To remedy this, you may need a step-up relay which will require some additional know-how. You may be best off finding some professional help in installing this kit. ..........com

A standard ballast is your basic ballast and contains no power regulator where as the digital ballast does contain one. ..........com

Yes. All our kits are plug-n-play. No splicing or modification of wires or plugs is necessary. ..........com

Hid illumination lamps have been shown to be better than normal bulbs having the same wattage by up to 3 times more brightness which leaves the driver the capability to distinguish the route upfront better. This is evidently much better and furthermore ensures night journeys are not as stressful as they could be.Hid stands in place of high intensity discharge and xenon is the label given to the ga...

Higher the K (Kelvin temperature) the brighter it gets- Not True, the Kelvin Scale measures color not brightness. The brightness is actually inversely proportional to the light output. 4500K HID is technically the brightest and the further you increase or decrease from 4500K the lumens (visible light) will slightly decrease. HIDs are so bright they will melt your headlights!- Not True, Xenon runs ...

You will know if you have daytime running lights if you need either or both. If you have a computerized headlight system you will need a canceller. If you do not but you have D.R.L. you will need a relay. ..........com

A relay is used for certain vehicles with daytime running lights or to simply pull power from your battery. This will accomplish two advantages. One advantage is bypassing the issue of problems that may occur between your E.C.U and your headlights. Another advantage is having more consistent power to the HID kit since the power is coming directly from the power source. ..........com

Canceller Cables (also know as CANBUS boxes, CANBUS Harness or CANBUS Relay) Are sold in pairs. You will need one pair per each HID Kit. - Canceller Cables have resistors & capacitors to simulate a factory Halogen Bulb. This will solve the error message on the dash board of newer luxury cars. - Canceller Cables will also eliminate HID headlight FLICKERING that is caused by the Vehicle's computer n...

That's 7500 hours versus 750 hours for regular bulbs.More light: HID kits produce 3 to 4 times more lights than regular headlights. This is 3400 lumens versus 900-1200 lumens for regular bulbs.Easy to install: Real plug-and-play kit such as t...

When you average delivered lumens over the course of 60,000 hours, you'll see that LED outperforms a 400-watt MH lamp operated in a horizontal position. (60,000 hours is used for this comparison to show three full life cycles of the HID.)The MH's lumen depreciation, as well as optical and ballast losses, quickly reduce output of the HID system. Note that there are three relamps over 60,000 hours.C...
