THE HID ADVANTAGE
Bottom line, HID headlights provide better visibility than ordinary
halogen bulbs. The difference is even more evident during poor
driving conditions. A significant percentage of road accidents take
place during inclement weather, especially at night. HID lights
allow drivers to overcome these conditions by providing up to 3
times more light. Added visibility contributes to driver confidence,
which provides for a more relaxed, safer driver.
Remarkably,
HID lights are able to provide greater light output with less power
consumption. Studies show that a 35 Watt HID lamp produced 3 times
as much light compared to a 55-Watt halogen bulb. Also, the 55 Watt
halogen bulb uses a continuous power draw of 10-15 amps, while the
HID system uses 20 for start-ups but drops to a mere 3 amps during
operation. In addition to high output and low power usage, your HID
headlight provide a longer service life. Under normal driving
conditions, the bulbs will last approximately 4 years (3000 hours).
That's up to 4 times as long as an ordinary halogen lamp.
