A common halogen bulb lasts about 300 hours of lifetime. HID xenon bulbs last about 3000 hours, about 10 times more.
- The HID xenon kit do not harm the headlights ?
No, they emit so-called “cold light”, ie, by working with consumption of just 35W and emit light ranging from white to blue (and red), its luminosity is low temperature, which does not damage the deflectors and headlight lenses, even the acrylic (polycarbonate).

In cases of headlight bulbs independent high and low, if you want to install only a HID xenon kit, we recommend install the HID xenon kit on low beam because generally it is access to at least 90% of the time of use. If you prefer, you can purchase an additional kit for the headlights and also for the auxiliary (or headlights miles). Just check the model used by the car on owner’s manual.

In the case of two filaments of light bulbs (high and low beam in the same bulb), you use the HID Bi-Xenon kit. This HID xenon kit works just like your halogen bulb, on high and low beam.
– If I change my car, I can remove the HID xenon kit and install it on my new car ?
Of course! The installation system is ”plug-and-play”, ie, bulbs, ballasts and harness installation can be easily installed or uninstalled at any time.
