This video is "Part B" in a series of two videos. This video only covers common issues/problems encountered when installing HID kits. Be sure to watch "Part A" for installing HID kits. Thanks for watching!
Most new cars come with HID (High-Intensity Discharge) or Xenon headlights now. However, for older cars, this is a "How-to" install an HID headlight kit (plug and play) video. The kit I install in the first video "Part A" is an 8000K ("K" for Kelvin) Dual Beam plug and play kit.
Dual Beam refers to two functions (two bulbs) within one headlight. One bulb for low beam, one bulb for high beam.
Plug and play means no hard wiring or wire splicing during install. All plug connections. Simple, easy.
The Kelvin definition is “the SI base unit of thermodynamic temperature, equal in magnitude to the degree Celsius.”
The three primary types of color temperature for light bulbs are: Soft White (2700K - 3000K), Bright White/Cool White (3500K - 4100K), and Daylight (5000K - 6500K). The higher the Degrees Kelvin, the whiter the color.
Kelvin is used in lighting to measure the color temperature of a particular light bulb. And in short, the higher the Kelvin rating (expressed in K), the whiter the light will be.
Kelvin ratings for HID colors are shown on a chart in the first video (Part A) at 1:44.
