HID stands for High Intensity Discharge. It refers to lighting technology that relies on an electrical charge to ignite xenon gas contained in a sealed bulb. One great advantage of HID lighting is that it doesn't have a filament but instead creates light by igniting an arc between two electrodes. HID Xenon Light BallastHID lights get their name from the intense white light produced by the electrical discharge. Halogen bulbs, which have a filament, have a lifespan of about 250 hours (1 year). HID bulbs are gas filled capsules that are rated for a life of 2500-8000 hours (3 to 5 years). Another fact is that they use only 35watts of electricity, while stock Halogen Bulbs require 55 watts, thus drawing less power than a vehicle's factory system. HID lights get their name from the intense white light produced by electrical discharge. HID lamps are also called xenon lamps referring to a gas inside the lamps. HID lights are currently used in most sports arenas, stadiums and trains around the world. Imitation bulbs sold in retail stores produce very scattered and artificial light that is not as bright as normal halogens. They are no match for the intensity, purity, and efficiency of High Intensity Discharge headlights. ASM Lighting has spent years in developing the best HID conversion kit on the market.
