9008/H13 Hi/Low HID Kit

9008 low beam/high beam HID kits available now. Low is HID and high is halogen.

Two colors (or Kelvin) are available. One HID kit produces 8,000-8,300 Kelvin which will result in the BMW/Mercedez Benz blue headlight color that everyone is looking for. The 6,000 Kelvin kit will produce a white light, similar to the color of an arc welder.


This 9008/H13 HID will operate your HID bulb in low beam and offer a halogen high beam.

	High Intensity Discharge (HID) versus Halogen
	HID	Halogen
Light Source	Arc Discharge	Filament
Color Temp	6,000k-12,000k	3,300k
Lumens	3,200 Lumens	800 Lumens
Power Consumption	35 Watts	55 Watts
Life Span	3,200 Hours	300 Hours

Color Temperature is a measurement in Degrees Kelvin (K) that indicates the hue of light source. There is a misconception that color temperature is a rating of the brightness of the HID bulb. The truth is that the higher the color temperature, the less light output from the HID bulb.

However, all HID light is much brighter than Halogen, even if it is a 35W 12000K HID bulb, the light output still maintain well over 2700lm; which is still 300% brighter than 55W Halogen with 700lm.

In case of damaged wires, damaged/defective ballasts, damaged terminals and exposure of any wires, please return the kit to us.

 

Do not look or stare into the HID beam or any part of the HID light. Looking into an HID light may cause eye soreness and potential permanent eye damage.

 

Do not switch on the headlights during the installation process. Do not touch the red connector on the stabilizer’s power cable or you may be subjected to electrical shock.

 

Do not change or modify any components, wiring or any part of this kit. Doing so may result in damage to the kit and possible electrical damage to your vehicle.

 

The HID bulb can get very hot. Avoid all skin contact when the headlights are on. Allow the HID bulbs to cool before installing or removing the bulbs.

 

Verify and adjust the direction of the beam axis. If necessary, lower the angle of the HID beam to avoid glare that may be projected into the oncoming traffic.
