Questions about HID lights
 
Ok well today someone hear mentiond them to me and I went up on AM and Stangmods to read up. I saw that there are dual and single beam. whats with that and i think what I got from reading is that the differences of the 4300k up to 10000k is just the color but they are the same brightness.

Seriously thinking about this cause i cant see crap at night
enlightem me please

the single hid lights only have a low beam setting. the Dual HID lights have a high beam and a low beam. thats the difference. the color doesnt depend on the intensity

well when you open the box your going to see all kinds of wires and 2 boxes. Basically 2 of the wires connect to the battery which then powers the ballast boxes (the 2 boxes) and then from the ballast it goes to the existing headlight wires then you plug that into the new bulb. The hardest part of the thing is where to mount the ballast box. I have the drivers side one in between the battery and the headlight and the passenger one is mounted by the intake. Then just use some zip-ties to make everything look clean wire wise and your all set. It's hard to explain since theres not a real specific question that was just a summed up explanation. If you have done other mods to your car with no problem it will take you like 30min if that. Basically just plug and go since it uses the existing headlight wiring

when you say connect it to the battery do you mean fuse box

Dave04Mustang 11-10-2007 09:36 PM

no the actual battery you have to disconnect and put the wires in the correct + - terminals then refasten it tightly after installation

here is a good picture of everything I summed up:

thats exactly how much wiring needs to be done

All you could ever need to know on HID's!!! And I do believe there is a major brightness output difference between 4300K and 10000K

The temperature of the bulb has nothing to do with the brightness. The temperature is strictly the color. Brightness has to do with how much power the bulbs are using
