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.

This HID system generates approximately 23,000 volts. Pay extreme attention while installing or removing this unit. Prior to installation, please check if the stabilizer, igniter and the HID bulbs are in good condition. 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.
