Think of it like Homer's control rods radiating from the Simpsons. The filament can be visualized like a straight rod, radiating light equally and radially along it's length with relatively captured ends (though some light radiates axially). Current flows through the filament, it heats up, and glows. How an incandescent bulb works, and how an HID bulb works.Īn incandescent bulb has a coiled filament. Halogen aux lights compared to HID aux lights are mostly a waste of time and space on my vehicles and toys. I will also not put any halogen auxiliary lights onto my vehicles. Ill put it this way, I will not own any vehicle without HID headlights lights, ever. Check out HID Planet forums for all the information on one place. If you have any technical questions about how HID lights work, there advantages, disadvantages, HID vs Halogens comparisons, etc goto Google, and search for "HID vs Halogen". The buyer was so taken back from how much light the fog lights produced that he wonders how he could get around without any thing else. My 04 Foz used 55w HIDs its in the fog lights, and was about to get HID projector conversion headlights before I sold it. 2 lights using 1/4 the power as before are so bright they my neighbors asked me not to use them driving home late at night. I used 55w H3 kits in the hellas, and now there is almost to much light. After that I removed the 4 KC lights and put in there place 2 HID converted Hella 500s. 4 100w KC lights put out much less light then my 2 35 watt HID headlights. On my truck, after I retrofitted my headlights to 35w HIDs, The results were startling. Click to expand.In one word: YES! In more words, HID lights are three times brighter then halogens, last up to three times longer, use less amperage, and there is no filament to burn out from vibration off and on road(goes back to the last longer part).
