HID lights use a glass chamber of gas, replacing the filament of traditional halogen bulbs. The gas is ignited by a 23,000v charge provided by a ballast which is connected to your battery. HID lights are able to provide greater light output with much less power consumption. A 35w HID lamp produces 3 times more light than a 55w halogen bulb using a continuous power draw of 2 amps, while the halogen bulb system uses 5 amps during operation.In addition, the HID headlamp provides longer service life. With no filament to vibrate and fatigue, under normal conditions HID bulbs last 10 times longer than halogen bulbs. Most Drivers get over 5 years of use in normal situations using Race Sport CANBUS-G1 HID Systems. Race Sport engineers have determined that their AC ballast is superior to inexpensive DC ballasts for light output intensity, reliability of the system and customer satisfaction. The CANBUS G1 HID system works with the vehicle's computer to monitor the system and insure proper operation without flickering or bulb out operational problems.What is HID Color Temperature?Color temperature is a characteristic of light that is sometimes mistaken as brightness, when it is more closely related to "cool" and "warm" tones of light. Color temperature is a measure in Degrees Kelvin of the hue of a light source, in this case the HID bulb.Here is a rough guide to Color Temperatures for HID bulbs:3K = Yellow, 4.3K = Bright White Yellow tinged, 5K = Pure White, 6K = Bright White (some detect a slight blue and call this crystal white), 8K = White with a Blue tone, 10K = Blue, 12K = Deep Blue, 15K = Dark Blue with Violet), 30K = Indigo.It should be noted that there is 28% less visible light when going from 6K to 8K.
