The term HID is the high intensity discharge which effects the electrical arc that produces light in headlamps. The HID kits which are available as an after-market addition to regular cars, come in all different shapes and sizes to fit a multitude of cars. A common phrase is gas discharge lamps or xenon bulbs. The xenon gas allows the lights to perform far better than dull OEM ones, immediately on start up.
The main benefits of HID kits is the ability to see more clearly and further in low light or dark conditions. This means the driver will have less eye strain and fatigue due to being able to see more clearly. In fact, some manufacturers claim their headlamps replicate daylight with their units.
The xenon bulbs and HID units help illuminate the reflective material, road signs and road markers more easily. This ensures more control over the surroundings when driving in the dark.
Due to the construction and usage of xenon gas rather than argon gas, the bulbs are longer lasting. The xenon gas allows instant results and run at a higher level with far less energy wasted. They use around 30-40% less energy than the standard fitment bulbs. They can run for around 2,500 hours rather than 1000 hours of the regular ones.
Another benefit is the less susceptibility to bumps and shocks due to the lack of coil filaments to that of halogen bulbs. The HID kit is relatively straight forward in its installation, as they come with complete instructions. As with all DIY jobs, care does have to be taken, especially as there are a few electrical connections to be handled. Unhooking the battery is a must and care and consideration needs to be taken to ensure a long life of the superb head-lamp product.
Lastly, the major issue with HID conversion one needs to be aware of, is an unclear legal situation. The conversion kits are usually sold for off-road or exhibition use, and there is a good reason for that. When installed in a regular halogen headlamp, the HID light is not cut-off properly and can potentially blind the on-coming traffic. Therefore, many of them are not street legal.
