How do I determine what HID KIT to buy?

You will need to determine your bulb size. Please click here to determine the right bulb for your vehicle. For example, for a 2005 BMW(325Ci) this link will indicate 'HID-D2S' for High & low beam headlamp.
Now that you know your bulb size, you will need to determine which color you need(4300K, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K, 12000K...) click here for color temperatures chart.
From our web site, select the color from the 'Category' list (left side on the screen).
Then select type of light you want(single beam, double beam, HI/LOW, etc.). This will take you to the product page.
On the product page, select the appropriate blub type from the drop-down list. In the above example, you will select 'D2S' as the bulb size.

What is High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Xenon light?

The xenon bulb is a micro discharge bulb filled with a mixture of noble gases including Xenon. The bulb has no filament as is the case with a halogen lamp. The light is created by striking an arc between 2 electrodes. The xenon lamp needs a starter for quick ignition and an electronic ballast to function properly. For more info on HID, click here.

How long will these bulbs last?

HID lamps are designed to last for the life of your vehicle. They will run for approximately 3,000 hours.

Can I Install the kit myself?

For anyone who is mechanically inclined, this installation is considered do-it-yourself. While a typical installation takes approximately an hour, it can vary depending on application (conversion or auxiliary). Our kits are ready to install right-out-of-the-box and come complete with everything that you need. Also included is a set of easy-to-read, step-by-step instructions to guide you.

Why was the Xenon bulb developed?

The car over the last decade has been made safer and more comfortable with the introduction of such technologies as ABS, Airbags and Air-conditioning. However, 60% of all accidents take place in the dark. Therefore vehicle lighting plays a very big role in road safety. It is a fact that a 60 year old requires 10-11 times the amount of light to perform the same functions as a 20 years old. With the increase in the average age of the population more light is required to drive safely.

Are these HID light systems street legal?

Every country and jurisdiction has its own rules and regulations governing the use of automotive lighting. Please check with your Department of Transportation(DOT). XENON HID lighting systems that are supplied with the vehicles from the factory are DOT / E approved. The same OEM manufacturers that supply all the major car companies of the world also make our kits.
