There is an instructional video available as well should you feel the necessity to use one. Finally, the HID headlight kit is referred to with its color temperature specifications such as 3000k, 6000k and 8000k.
Hid Nation - HID Headlight Kit For Road Safety at Night
1. Hid Nation- HID Headlight Kit For Road Safety at Night
Till the other day road conditions at night were unsafe. This is because of
the poor light being produced by the standard halogen lights. While
daylight has a color temperature of 4300k, the color temperature of
halogen bulbs is only around 2300k. This was a serious drawback but
there was more.
Although halogen bulbs were decidedly better than the incandescent bulbs
of yester years they were still using filaments. These filaments reduce the
life of the bulb drastically. The other problem with halogen bulbs was that
since electricity was being used to heat up the filament to a white hot state
and it was this that was giving out the illumination, halogen bulbs end up
consuming a substantial amount of power. The invention of the High
Intensity Discharge or HID kit changed the entire picture overnight.
2. The HID kit does not uses any filaments. It is based on the principle of a
high intensity discharge occurring between two tungsten electrodes
immersed inside a sealed quartz tube filled with Xenon or similar noble
gases. The illumination that occurs due to this discharge is something akin
to the natural phenomenon of lightening.
The color temperature of this light is an amazing span of between 4300k
and 6000k and even higher. Since filaments are not used inside the HID
bulb, not only does the HID kit give you an illumination that is 300%
more powerful when compared to the standard halogen bulbs but the
power consumed is also a significant 35% lesser. Once again due to the
absence of filaments the HID bulbs can last on an average as much as ten
years or 3000 hours of usage. The HID headlight kit is now available for
all kinds of cars from Acura to Alfa-Romeo and Ducati to Dodge. If you
wish to find out the HID equivalent for your bulb the bulb guide will help
you.
3. The HID headlight kit is very smart to look at. Each kit has two
HID bulbs, two ballasts and two brackets. There is warranty cover
for the kit to last a year, two years or a lifetime depending upon your
need. The kit is easy to install too since it is of the plug-n-play kind.
Therefore, normally you will not need specialist help to install it.
There is an instructional video available as well should you feel the
necessity to use one. Finally, the HID headlight kit is referred to
with its color temperature specifications such as 3000k, 6000k and
8000k. While 3000k refers to the color temperature of the yellow
color, 12000k refers to the color temperature of deep blue or
somewhat purplish color. One will need to bear this point in one’s
mind before placing an order.
