Imposing Modifications gives us some product info and how you can set up your own HID conversion kit. HID – High Intensity Discharge – The HID system is a lighting system containing a set of 2 bulbs, 2 ballasts and 2 starters. These kits are designed to produce more light and last longer than any other lighting kits out there. Have you notice how bright and blue some headlights are at night? They are probably running an HID Kit.
High Intensity Discharge kits are an entire replacement to your existing headlight bulb, so far they are extremely easy to install. That starter takes the signal from the vehicle and fast sends it to the ballast. The ballast then amplifies the signal to a high current signal and sends it to the bulb. The plug in HID bulb receives the signal and creates the light. The bulb is filled with a mixture of gases and salts. When the bulb receives the amplified power from the ballast, it energizes the gases in the bulb creating a white/blue light output.
The color varies, depending on the Kelvin (K)/color temperature of the kit. HID kits radically improve night vision driving. Reports show that 60% of night accidents are caused due to poor lighting conditions. HID kits illuminate hundreds of feet in front of the vehicle. It is also useful in the rain where lines are harder to see. These kits are also designed to last up to 10 times longer than conventional bulbs. Since there is no filament to break, road bumps and shock cannot damage the lamp.
