Free Slim Ballast Upgrade on all HID Conversion Kits - $25 Value

The Safety Drivers Deserve

Every night, drivers depend on their lights for safety.  With a more intense, brighter light than halogen, HID Depo HID Conversion Kits delivers three times the output, improved peripheral vision, and enhanced down-road visibility. High Intensity Discharge represents a new dimension in driving, a technological breakthrough uniting a passion for automotive performance and a commitment to safety. It is the new standard, delivering more light while requiring less maintenance.

Why HID?  

Some auto experts cite the complete darkness on isolated highways as a reason for why HID is becoming popular. HID Lights promote safety by providing a better overall view of the roadway and the ability to see upcoming objects quickly and more clearly. For example, road signs and objects on the road are easier to see when illuminated by HID Headlights

Definition of HID  

High intensity Discharge is light from a Xenon gas discharge rather than a filament.  The system involves a ballast to start the light and certain gasses to create the light.  Overall the system uses less energy than halogen , while producing 3 times more light.

How HID Lights Work 

High Intensity Discharge Lights do not have a filament.  Instead light is created from an electrical discharge between two electrodes in a micro-environment of Xenon gas and metal halide salts.  The light is emitted by an electrically energized gas, a plasma discharge formed and sustained between the two electrodes.  
  
The distinctive blue-white light of HID lamps stimulates the reflective paints in road markers and signs creating a safer driving environment. Additionally, the increased light output is designed to illuminate a wider area in front of the vehicle, improving visibility and safety, without disturbing the vision of oncoming drivers.  
  
HID Depo HID Conversion Kits have over three times the lumens per watt of traditional halogen light sources and are more efficient at converting electrical energy into light. They produce at least 70% more light than halogen lamps, and use less power while producing less heat. This gives designers new freedom to explore the frontiers of front end design. By creating more compact headlights to fit smaller spaces, better aerodynamics are possible.
