HID head lights or High Intensity Display Headlights are getting popular day by day. They are manufactured by a technology in which the electrical charge is used to ignite xenon gas inside a steeled tube. In HID displays, light is produced by electrical discharge between two electrodes not by using a filament. Here in this technology the xenon gas is filled inside a quartz capsule and the electrodes are placed inside them that are the reason this technology is also called xenon lighting. Here between the two electrodes, an arc of light is created according to gas discharge principle. HID headlights produce more light than the ordinary lights and consume less energy. The lights generated by HID headlights are similar to daylight and hence they find great use in automotive applications.

HID lamps are more efficient than the incandescent lamps as they do not use a filament to produce light. In the case of filament heat is generated and there will be loss of energy. In case of HID lights the only catalyst used is current so overall efficiency will be tremendously increased. HID lights could produce more light at cooler temperature. HID lights will have a long life as the filament is not present which could burnout and end up the lights life. HID lights can produce brighter and intense light as an entire capsule of gas is used other than a single filament. It is found that automobiles using HID head lights could give a better illumination than using halogen head lamps, the drivers can see the road more clearly and the change of accidents are reduced. Many car manufactures are including HID lights in their cars because of these features. HID headlights are not considered as a luxury upgrade but an essential accessory for your automobile. Let us now take a look some of the advantages of the HID headlights.

The main advantage offered by HID lights are they offer a greater output as compared to standard halogen lights. When driving, lights are most crucial at night. HID lights provides an increased brightness and as a result the driver could see more clearly and the chance of accidents gets reduced.

Another advantage of the HID lights is the increase in viewing angle. The viewing radius is increased by about 70 percent and as a result more area can be covered by HID lights. The blind spots in the road will be illuminated and will ensure the safety of the driver.

They are more durable than halogen lights. As they doesnt contain filament they can be installed in vibration and shock prone areas also.

HID lights will have a much more life span than halogen lights so that you dont have to change your car lights frequently.

They are more energy saving as they use 25 percent less power than halogen lights.
