What is a HID kit for headlights?
HID (High-Intensity Discharge) conversion kits replace your standard halogen headlights with advanced xenon lighting technology. These kits include specialized HID bulbs and ballasts that work together to produce brighter, whiter light that more closely matches natural daylight. The result is superior illumination that helps you see farther and drive with peace of mind at night.
What is a Canbus HID kit?
Canbus HID Conversion Kits are specifically designed for European vehicles from 2006 onwards and most modern vehicles from 2007-2008 to the present. "Canbus" refers to the Controller Area Network system, a sophisticated vehicle wiring system that allows different components to communicate without a central computer. A Canbus HID Kit integrates seamlessly with your vehicle's electrical system without triggering error messages or compatibility issues.
Can I use 35W HID bulbs with 55W ballast?
Technically, you can use 35W HID bulbs with a 55W ballast. However, most HID light kits on the market operate at 35W because this power level is the industry standard that delivers the best mix of light output and bulb lifespan.
Are HID kits universal?
Most HID Conversion Kits are designed to be universal, so they’re compatible with most vehicles that currently use factory-installed halogen headlights. Making the switch from standard halogen lights to brilliant HID headlight bulbs is a smart upgrade that transforms your vehicle's lighting performance.
