After spending so much on the car paint and body kit even after changing the interior, the car is not said to be modified or upgraded now a days if you are using the old lights. It is time now to change the lights system too as you should move to HID from normal halogen bulbs. Halogen bulbs are out of date and they are also not very bright that does not fulfill the actual purpose of the lights on a car. HID provides more efficient lightning system with good bright lights also consuming less power by providing more intensity. However for all these luxuries and comforts of hid you need to buy a hid conversion kit for your car and it costs a bit high than previous light system of yours.
Normally you will find four to five types of HID kits for this purpose so you can choose which type fits your car. There is also a division between high beam kits providing you the opportunity to get either high beam kit or low beam kit or to have both hi/lo kit in you car. The last one cost very much.
You will find kits as one Single beam kit that have two pairs of hid bulbs and have two ballasts with them you can find these easily as they are the most low cost and easily available and suits on many cars. If your car is compatible with two bulbs than you can buy this kit the different sizes are available for the different types of kits
The other kit is HIGH/LOW beam kit that also comes with two pair of bulbs but only one is hid the other one is halogen. The hid bulb performs both at high beam and low beam itself. Also this kit has two ballasts. The size variations for bulbs are not very much in this kit class.
Third type of kit is known normally as Telescopic HID kit as you can used it for high and low beam purpose and it comes with two hid bulbs both function at different beam levels and two ballasts.
Forth one is popularly known as the Xenon kit it has two bulbs for converting the high beam and the low beam and also the standard two ballasts for this pair of bulb. Different colors are available most popular is Blue Headlights touch.
The most important thing to be known for converting this kit if you are doing it by your own self is that these are normally available at 35watts and 12 volts. And for a truck size vehicle you need a 24 volt kit. These should be check as you could have power problems afterward. To be on the safe side you can use HID kit that supports up to 55 watts.
You can also choose the kits and bulbs according to there temperature as different light color emits different temperature and for long usage this should be carefully checked. The brighter the color is more it gets a higher temperature. There are also warranty available for these but if you are buying from the internet make sure you can rely on them for warranty issues.
