are xenon bulbs HID's?
I wanna get these headlights for my car: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330433510164&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
but i'm a little confused. it says "Work With Halogen Or Xenon bulbs. Can Change To 4200k Or Higher Optic Blue Hyper White Bulbs
Includes Pre-assembled Wire Harness & Mounting Bracket. Also Include H1 Hi & H1 Low Beam light Bulbs"
I'm just a little confused with what xenon bulbs are, are they just the regular lights most cars use? and if i get this, will i need a ballast or HIDs or anything?I was planning on just using my stock bulbs and don't really wanna get a ballast or anything.
sorry this sounds like a stupid question, I googled and still dont quite understand
nvm im an idiot, not gonna close this but first person to respond gets best answer
NOPE.
Car HID Lights or just HID stands for High Intensity Discharge. This kit uses Xenon bulbs to create a much whiter, and brighter light, then its predecessor the halogen bulb. They are called xenon bulbs, because that’s the name of the gas that the bulb uses, so hence Xenon bulb. Xenon gas is a colorless, odorless gas that responds to electrical current. The more gas in the bulb, the more electricity going through the bulb, the brighter, and more colorful the light is emitted.
Car HID lights were introduced more as a safety feature then anything else. The light that the HID kit emits is brighter, has a longer and wider range. All of these characteristics allow night driving to become safer, and obstacles appear earlier on the road, allowing more time for drivers to respond earlier.
HID lighting is not only provided by many manufacturers as an OEM option. It is also provided by many aftermarket companies, as an aftermarket option. They are available in most bulb sizes. Here are some of the most common bulb sizes for HID kits:
H1, H3, H4, H7, h13, 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007, D1S, D2S.
There are single beam conversions, duel beam conversions, and there are Telescopic beam conversions.
The Single beam is designed for just the low beam to be converted to an HID. They come with two xenon bulbs, and two ballasts.
The Duel beam consists of four xenon bulbs (two for low, and two for high beam) and four ballasts.
The Telescopic (duel filament, which is when one bulb is used for low and high beam) comes with special two xenon bulbs, and special two ballasts.
Car HID lights are designed to emit different colors. The xenon bulbs are temperature rated, and depending on the temperature they emit a different color. Here is what they are: 3000K (Golden Yellow) , 4300K (Bright White), 5000K (white), 6000K (Crystal White),8000K (Crystal Blue), 10000K (Aqua Blue), 12000K (Purple-Blue).
