FAQ

HID stands for "High Intensity Discharge". These bulbs use an electric arc rather than the glowing filament in a Halogen bulb. HID headlamp bulbs do not run on low-voltage DC current like a Halogen Bulb, so they require a ballast, which controls and regulates the flow of current. This ballast will require an ignitor to light the bulb. This is either integrated directly into the bulb or as a separate unit which is occasionally part of the ballast, similar to fluorescent bulbs in your home. In a vehicle, HID bulbs tend to be much more expensive to replace than a Halogen bulb.

Installing new headlights on your vehicle can result in fitment issues if they are improperly installed. Many times an alignment post is not inserted correctly, or a bracket is not tightened to the correct torque. In other cases, the incorrect part is being installed. We want to know if you have any installation issues with your new parts as soon as possible, so that we can help you figure out exactly what is wrong. Please contact us so we can help you save time with any questions you might have if something does not appear to fit correctly.

HID lights can also be referred to as Xenon bulbs (though not all Xenon bulbs are HID). Some vehicle manufacturers also use Bi-Xenon headlights. Bi-Xenon means the same bulb handles the high and low beams. If you have these headlights, your projector handles both, so in short, you only need to replace one bulb to upgrade or repair the functionality of your headlight.

Halo lights are lights arranged in a ring around the headlights themselves. You've probably seen them on some cars, such as BMWs, where they are the factory option. In some cases the effect is achieved with bulbs, while on other vehicles it's done with fiber optics. Halo Lights can be a popular upgrade to make your car or truck stand out at night. Please be aware that most of theHalo lights we sell typically have to be manually wired up to your existing wiring harness. This is because your stock vehicle did not have Halos, and there is no wiring pigtail for them on the factory harness.
