What is Xenon HID? High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp is a new type of lighting technology that replaces the conventional halogen lamp. HID lamps replace filaments of halogen lamps with electrodes. It uses electrical discharge technology to ignite inert gas (Xenon gas) contained in a sealed bulb inside. It was first developed and used in mid-90s, and up until today, this expensive better technology are still only used on high-end Luxury and Performance cars. Now, it can be used on yours! Please check local laws / regulations before purchase the product. We will not be held responsible in anyway for the misuse and violation of the laws when using these products.

What are the advantages of Xenon HID?
High Intensity Brightness, 3 times brighter than the halogen lamp. Way longer life than the halogen lamp, last 2500 hours or more. That should well cover at least 5+ years on the car. Energy efficient, it only draws 35W of power while a normal halogen lamp consumes 55W but produce less brightness. In addition, unlike the halogen lamp which has filament inside the bulb. The filament is easily broken and the bulb will no longer be working once the filament is broken. With HID, there is no filament inside the bulb, instead there is Xenon Gas. Since there is no filament inside the HID bulb, there will be no failure bulbs causing by the break of filament for all HID bulbs. Finally the color, it will produce whiter light beam that would illuminate the road ahead to produce better visibility and create a safer driving condition and reduce accidents.

What is 6000K, 8000K, 10000K? What does "K"
represent? The "K" presents color temperature, it's the abbreviation of Kelvin (K). Here is a chart to show you what the color will look like in Kelvin. The lower the number, the closer to the Red. The normal halogen lamp has 3200K, which is yellowish color as you can see in the chart. While many car manufacturers has already provided Xenon HID Headlights on their top end luxury and performance cars, they are still using the Generation1 4300K which is whiter than the halogen lamp, but not white enough. The Generation2 Xenon HID has 6000K which is what the Sunlight has, pure white. Therefore, it out performances the halogen lamp of course but also out performances the Generation1 4300K. We recommend 6000K is the best and suitable for any conditions. If your car already has factory Xenon HID, then you will only need to change the bulbs to have it upgraded to 6000K or above color temperature. We sell replacement HID bulbs too, so you can check our eBay stores or contact us to purchase the Xenon HID bulbs separately. The higher the "K" goes, you will see that it becomes more bluish and purplish. The ideal color temperature for the people who likes a little bluish in their Xenon HID should choose 8000K. Only the more extreme people should consider 10000K and 12000K. Please check your local laws/regulations before you upgrade anything. The seller will hold no responsibility when the product is misuse, mishandled and has issues with local laws/regulations. Please note that it is normal to see when the Xenon HID first light up to appear more bluish than after maybe 30 seconds of lighting up. Basically the "normal" operational color will show after 30~60 seconds of turning on the Xenon HID.
