HID Xenon Bulbs Versus Upgrade Xenon Bulbs - What is the Difference?

The term xenon bulbs can be used to describe two different types of headlight bulbs. Firstly there are the HID bulbs, which use a high voltage spark to ignite the bulb, and secondly there are the upgrade headlight bulbs, which are designed to replace standard halogen bulbs.

The HID xenon is are a relatively new innovation in automotive lighting, and it was first offered as an expensive option on prestige cars like Audi, BMW and Mercedes. It is easy to spot a car that has HID lights fitted, because they produce an incredibly powerful white light with a distinctive blue hue around them.

H7 Halogen Bulbs

When compared to standard halogen headlight bulbs, which have been around since the 1960's, HID bulbs offer a considerable improvement. They produce 300% more light, that projects over 80 meters further than halogen and emit a much crisper and whiter light that closely resembles natural daylight.

HID bulbs are simply designed using a different technology to produce the light. Instead of a fine piece of wire filament, the light comes from a glass chamber of gas with no filament. Thus, road bumps and shock cannot damage the lamp. Our kit is one of the most bright on the market! Your eyes will be amazed how much better you can actually see driving on dark roads. Please check with your local law enforcement agency before using the HID light as diffrerent cities in the US have different laws regarding the use of High Intensity vehicle lights, or you can use for off-road vehicles and show vehicles.Product Specifications: * For vehicles that require H7 headlamp bulbs * Color: 10000K (soft blue)Note: When installing the HID lights and the ballast, please be careful to confirm the polarity of the power cable. The positive side of the plug corresponds with the "+" side on the ballast.

With HID lights it is much easier to see the road ahead and spot potential hazards earlier when travelling at night, especially on dark unlit roads, and because the HID bulbs do not have a metal filament they last 10 times longer than halogen headlight bulbs, and draw considerably less power from the vehicle's electrical system.

Unfortunately if your headlights use standard halogen bulbs you cannot upgrade them to HID, because they operate on a different high voltage electrical system and utilise different bulb holders. However you can experience the benefits of xenon by replacing your halogen bulbs with upgrade xenon car bulbs.

Upgrade xenon bulbs come very close to matching the extraordinary output of HID lights, in fact they can emit up to 90% more light than the halogen and project a light beam almost 40 meters further. Externally, upgrade xenon bulbs look identical to their halogen counterparts, however they contain pressurised xenon gas and a redesigned metal filament within the glass bulb.

Because upgrade xenon bulbs operate at the same wattage as halogen bulbs, and are designed to fit in the same bulb holders, you can upgrade your standard headlight bulbs to xenon yourself, without the need to make any changes or modifications. Best off all, these upgrade headlight bulbs are fairly cheap and completely legal so you can get the HID look for a fraction of the price.

HID Xenon Bulbs Versus Upgrade Xenon Bulbs - What is the Difference?

Even if your vehicle was not fitted with HID Xenon Lights as standard, by fitting a pair of upgrade Xenon Bulbs you can really improve your lights and they can be used to upgrade your dipped beam, main beam and fog lights. The most commonly used headlight bulbs are the H7 Bulbs and so there are a wide range of upgrade H7 xenon bulbs to choose from.
