The hid bulb is a micro discharge bulb filled with a mixture of noble gases including hid. The bulb has no filament as is the case with a halogen lamp. The light is created by striking and arc between 2 electrodes. The hid lamp needs a starter for quick ignition and an electronic ballast to function properly. What are the advantages of PureVision HID over traditional halogen bulbs?

More light output
A 35-Watt HID lamp produces up to 3x the lumens at the light source when compared to a 55-Watt halogen bulb.

Whiter light
While the halogen light appears yellowish, the HID lighting system produces a light that is closer to that of natural sunlight.

Increased Visibility
In most night time driving/bad weather situations, this combination of a whiter color and a greater light output allows for a safer and more illuminated drive.

Reduced power consumption
HID lamp systems draw significantly less power from your vehicles electrical system.

Greater product life
HID lamp systems are designed to outlast your vehicle. On average these bulbs will last 3-5 times longer than a traditional halogen bulb.

Distinctiveness
Your vehicle will not only have the latest in automotive lighting technologies, but will also have that unique eye-catching appeal. Currently, only high-end vehicles offer this HID lighting system.
