High Intensity Discharge Headlights
Glossary > Appearance > Lights >
updated: Thu, Jul 03, 2003
Rather than using resistance to create light, like halogen bulbs, HID headlights use a capsule containing xenon gas and halide salts that create a light usually 3 times as bright as halogen. An HID headlight system is much more expensive than a traditional Halogen setup since much higher voltage is required for these lights.
