Pro conversion kits with E4 certificates.
This kit boasts top quality steel waterproof digital ballast, high quality purpose made bulbs with cermaic bulb holders that are designed to produce perfect beam patterns and focus jsut like the halogens, this can be seen in the pictures. The bulbs have UV cut to prevent damage to plastic lenses.
We have many people contact us who have bought cheaper kits elsewhere and the problems range from interference with radio and onboard computer, poor or no beam pattern, blown bulbs and ballasts and most commonly problems with bulb failure alarms.
This kit is you can just plug the plug on your car straight into the ballast for a perfect OEM look.
Colour Temperature:
5000, 6000-8000k (white yellow tint, crystal white with crisp delicate blue tint, white stong blue tint)
We recommend the 6000k.
The the true OEM is 4300K. Even the latest blue look on factory fit Xenons is not produced by the bulb, but by the reflector/projector lense. Refraction spilt the colour of the light like a Prism if you remember that experiment from Physics, but 4300 or even 5000K in a normal headlamp looks yellow.
The crisp white look with the odd hint of blue from certain angles has to be 6000K. If you want more blue then 8000K, gives about 15% less light than 6000K.
Warranty:
One years warranty on both ballasts and bulbs. Warranty is limited and for parts only. Return to base warranty.
Fitting Instructions:
These kits are easy to install and can be fitted by most DIYers.
Wiring is easy, the power the the ballasts is via 2 wires with male spade connectors that simply push into the female connectors that are on your car now, the ones that push onto the Halogen bulb.
The HID bulb has 2 wires with handed plugs that you push into the matching plugs on the leads from the ballast, and that it.
If you have 9006 bulbs or your bulbs are held in by a bulb holder, then the plug on the bulb holder in most cases is the same as that on the ballast, and this can be simply pushed in to provide power to the ballast for an even better OEM look
If your car has a plastic bulb cover, you will need to make a small hole in it to allow the cables to pass to and from the ballast. A gromment is provided to seal this hole. If you have rubber boots over the bulb, then all you need to do is make a small hole in the rubber to pass the cables through.
Size information:
The bulbs are the same size as the original Halogens and you can go back to halogens in minutes.
The ballasts are approx 10.5cm x 8cm x3cm
FAQ:
What is HID Xenon?
High Intensity Discharge (HID) is a new type of lighting technology that's primarily different from the conventional halogen bulbs that use a heated tungsten filament. Unlike Halogen lamps, High-Intensity-Discharge (HID) lamps don't have a filament but create light by the arc between two electrodes. The arc activates the Xenon, which in turn ignites the metal halide. The light produced by an HID Xenon lighting system is greater than a standard halogen bulb and with less power consumption. On the road, HID Xenon lighting systems appear as a bright white beam which resembles natural daylight. The bright white beam offers greater visibility and road safety.
In an HID Xenon lighting system, the voltage between the two electrodes rises firstly from 12V to 23000V and keeps stable at 8000V by using the Xenon HID ballasts system. Due to the ultra high voltage, the Xenon gas ionises and a super-bright beam is produced, whose colour temperature is up to 12000K. The HID Xenon lighting is much more economic, more stable and brighter than the conventional automobile lighting.
What are the advantages of Xenon Light?
LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
The xenon bulb provides more than twice the amount of light of a halogen bulb, while only consuming half the power (wattage). Therefore, the driver can see more clearly, and the car has more power for other functions. Moreover, it is environmentally friendly, as less power means less fuel consumption.
3 TIMES BRIGHTER
The clear white light produced by the Xenon bulb is similar to daylight. Research has shown that this enables drivers to concentrate better. Furthermore, this particular light colour reflects the road markings and signs better than conventional lighting.
EXTREMELY LONG LIFE
The xenon bulb also delivers a marked contribution to road safety in the event of limited visibility due to weather conditions. In practical terms, the life span of the bulb is equal to that of the car, which means that the bulb need only be replaced in exceptional cases.
Why is good quality car lighting so important?
Because it saves lives. Better lighting leads to earlier and improved recognition of objects, cyclists, pedestrians, road workers, etc. Earlier and improved recognition of traffic signs and road markings is also vitally important to accident prevention. Therefore, better lighting delivers an active contribution to road safety and driver comfort, and can save lives.
Why was Xenon Light developed?
For more safety on our roads. In the past decade, car manufacturers have made cars safer and more comfortable by the introduction of A.B.S., air bags, air conditioning, etc. But still, no less than 60% of all traffic accidents take place in poorly lit conditions. Therefore, lighting greatly contributes actively to road safety and comfort.
What does the XENON HID light system kit includes?
We will supply you with all of the necessary components and hardware to install this system into your vehicle. Each kit includes: 2 direct plug-in XENON H.I.D. lamps, 2 ballasts (transformer / igniter unit), all necessary wiring, complete and easy to follow installation instructions and wiring diagram.
Why is Xenon lighting more expensive than halogen lighting?
Xenon lighting is not simply a question of a new type of bulb, but a whole new system consisting of:
(1) A complex HID Xenon bulb manufactured according to the highest standards of precision.
(2) A hi-tech HID electrical ballast system specially adapted to the Xenon bulb.
The price is governed by all these components. Generally the price of the HID ballast, which is NOT necessary to a traditional bulb, accounts for 2/3 of the price of the whole Xenon HID lighting system.
What is Lumen (lm)?
The international unit (SI) of luminous flux (quantity of lights). For example, a dinner candle produces about 12 lumens and a standard 60-watt incandescent bulb produces 830 lumens. The higher the number is, the brighter the light is.
What is Kelvin (K)?
A basic unit of thermodynamic temperature (colour temperature) used to measure the whiteness of the light output. The higher the number is, the whiter the light is. When over 5000K the light begins to turn to blue as daylight.
How do I determine if an HID ballast is operational or has failed?
First replace the lamp with a known good lamp listed on the fixture or ballast label. If this does not correct the problem, then measure the input voltage to the fixture and to the ballast to verify the availability of supply voltage at the ballast input. If the supply voltage exists at the ballast input leads, check for OCV, using the cautions in A2 above. If the OCV voltage is correct as listed on the ballast label, the problem could be a defective capacitor or ignitor. Change one of these component one at a time to correct the problem. Generally,if the ballast shows no signs of overheating and the OCV measurement is correct the ballast is good and there has to be another component failure or a wiring problem.
What will cause my lamp to cycle on and off?
This is an indication that the lamp has reached the end of its life. Replacing the lamp with a lamp specified to operate with the installed ballast will usually correct the cycling. This problem is most likely to be observed with High Pressure Sodium lighting systems.
