Frequently Asked Questions

High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps utilize xenon gas light sources, a ballast and igniter for each lamp. A high voltage charge from the igniter causes an arc to light between the electrodes of the light source. The ‘white’ light that is produced provides better illumination for all weather driving, enabling the driver to see more clearly.

This is the same lighting technology utilized in new Mercedes, Lexus, BMW and Audi automobiles.

A question we receive often. Many of the aftermarket kits out there require some re-wiring. Our kits require no re-wiring assemblies or custom set-ups. As long as you have access to remove and replace the original bulb assembly, then you are good to go. As close to plug-n-play as you can get.

One of the great benefits of HID - Xenon gas based light technology is the lower power consumption. In most every case they draw less power (current) than your factory basic bulbs. Our HID kits typically draw about 33-35 watts per light, yet create about 150 watts of light power in a spectrum that is great for driving. No more burned out wiring harnesses with these low power consumption lights.

In general if you can change your factory bulbs and read simply instructions, then you can install this kit. On some vehicles, like the Ford Super Duty Series, it is simply difficult to get to the drivers side bulb and requires more time. On a car like the 1994 Toyota Supra, you can expect to be completed in 60 minutes or less!

For those less inclined on installations, most any local shop can install these for you very easily and cost effectively.

From the engineering school at USC in their published article, they state the following:

From an opinion survey performed by the reputable EMNID research organization in Bielefeld, Germany, Xenon HID light was shown to be considered highly important and useful: 85% of all drivers who drove with Xenon HID lights could see better in the dark than they used to; 75% of drivers who used Xenon HID stated that the broad swath of roadway which these lamps illuminate created greater safety for cyclists and pedestrians, whom the driver could recognize at an earlier stage than with conventional headlamps; 80% of respondents could see better with Xenon HID than with halogen when driving in the rain.

The advantages of Xenon HID have made owners of cars with this lighting system fond of it. Therefore it is not a surprise that 83% of drivers surveyed would order Xenon HID on their next cars. Xenon HID is a lighting system that makes driving at night safer for the driver as well as pedestrians, produces light that’s closer to natural sunlight, reflects road signs and markers more effectively, reduces driver fatigue and eye strain, and cleans and aligns itself. Highly advanced and the most efficient source of light for automobiles today, Xenon HID is the lighting system of the future. The investment made now may pay for itself back tenfold in the future with the prevention of an accident.

Great question! Our HID kits draw only 37 watts per assembly, so most any 1990 or newer 4-Stroke ATV will more than sufficient capacity for a pair of our HID lights. In fact some quads like the Raptor can run as many as three (3) HID lights without any issues. No stator or charging system upgrades are required.
