Bugger what they look like, do they improve night vision on your average road?
Jeff, they do put out better light on the road. I'm yet to take some pics of in-cabin, but street signs and lane markings are easier to see (much more reflective) as well as seeing emergency vehicles from further distances.

which part you dont understand mate? think of an ignition coil...then think of the spark that comes out of it....then when that ignites the special gas inside the bulb that is what produces the massive amount of light..
a coventional bulb has a filament just like the light globe in your average house.it works by causing resistence which makes the filament "burn" hence produces light.
both are totally different to each other. hid system also uses much less power compared to conventional lighting system..
Kris, the HID system is literally plug and play. The hardest part of the install is finding a place to mount the ballast, but all it is (connection wise) is OEM headlight connector -> HID ballast -> HID wiring harness (if it's a separate part like in mine) -> HID globe. The HID-look lights that can be easily scooped up on eBay don't do jack for the lighting... the white light emitted is actually dimmer than the OEM bulbs (which aren't too bad if you've got near new headlights) as they are tinted blue (in all cases I've seen anyway).

Sigh. I've been trying to contact Ian for a long long time, with no avail. Does anyone have his number, or email? I've lost his number, and my computer's motherboard fried itself.
