Safety. There is more than one reason why HID lighting has become such an important automotive upgrade in recent years, and it starts with security. Every year, there are more than thirty thousand auto accidents in the US alone, and guess what? Close to seventy percent of them happen at night, and serious collisions rise precipitously after dark as well. This is not a coincidence. While it is true that many drivers love HID headlights for their flashy style, one of their most underrated characteristics is the gigantic boost in safety they provide when it comes to nighttime navigating.
And you can’t put a price on that. Not every customizing option is for fashion alone. Sometimes, it is more serious than that.
Inside the HID Process. Unlike out-of-date factory bulbs, HID headlights do not have a filament that produces the beam. Instead, xenon gas inside the bulbs ‘heats up’ between the electrodes, turning white-hot and extremely bright near instantly. It is the best in technology, which is why it has been so exclusive in the past. The quality of light that HID headlights give off is between 3-5 times brighter than factory halogen bulbs, and burn roughly half the amount of energy. This allows them to last extremely long and rarely require replacement. The brilliant level of illumination and stylish coloring you see is a cross between an intense chemical reaction and cutting-edge innovation. HIDheadlights are without a doubt, the wave of the future.
