Note from the seller: HID kits today have a far greater variety of options than in previous years. I've gone through the effort to provide as muh information as possible, to let you choose the exact kit that best fits your application and needs.
The primary differences in most HID kits are in AC vs DC kits. The DC kits are the common kits that you see in the lower price range. This reduction in price comes at the cost in lower quality control and lower light output. In general, I avoid these kits unless they are specifically asked for.
Meanwhile 35w AC kits provide the similar output as seen in factory HID lights, such as those found in
BMW, Audi, Land Rover, etc. The costs is obviously higher but they have had a consistently longer lifespan and been more durable.
For us, we stock primarily 50w AC HID bulbs, and will use them across the entire line of ballasts. They have been shown to work fine with 35w or 50w ballasts, and AC or DC ballasts. We use them primarily because the quality control on them has been significantly higher than that found in the DC bulbs.
-- 35w DC Ballasts Type 2 Analog output. Compact smaller design. Least expensive setup available. May "flicker." Wattage: 35w Output with 4300k bulb: 2500 Lumen |
|
-- 35w AC Digital Ballasts Standard output seen on all OEM HID cars. Recommended for most vehicles Wattage: 35w Output with 4300k bulb: 3000 Lumen |
|
-- 50w AC Digital Ballasts NOTE: These are now a slim ballast, as the fat ballast style is no longer available. |
|
-- 35w Canbus Pro Ballasts Standard light output. Recommended for vehicles requiring warning cancelers. Wattage: 35w Output with 4300k bulb: 3000 Lumen |
|
-- 35w Canbus X3 Ballasts Standard light output. Highest quality ballast available. Recommended for vehicles requiring warning cancelers. Wattage: 35w Output with 4300k bulb: 3000 Lumen |
|
-- 50w Canbus X5 Ballasts 30% brighter light output. Highest quality ballast available. Recommended for vehicles requiring warning cancelers. Wattage: 50w Output with 4300k bulb: 3900 Lumen |
|
-- Warning Harness Cancelers For use with vehicles that have a CANBUS or on-board system that causes a dashboard error or other on-board error. Primarily used for BMW's, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, '02+ Dodge / Jeep / Chrysler, '07+ Ford's, Land Rover, 2010+ Buick. |
|
-- 40 Amp Relay Harness For vehicles requiring a relay harness. Provides a steady amperage directly from the battery to the headlights. Not required for all vehicles. (1) Relay harness runs two HID's. |
|
-- Relay Harness with 50w Resistor / Terminator (1) Relay harness runs two HID ballasts. Documented vehicles that require this harness:- 2014-Up Chevrolet Silverado (Low beams) - 2014-Up Chevrolet Suburban / Tahoe (Low beams) - 2006-2008 Dodge Ram (assumes HID Low / Halogen High bulbs) - 2008-2011 Dodge Avenger - 2011-2012 Chrysler 200 - 2014-Up GMC Sierra (Low beams) - 2014-Up GMC Yukon (Non-HID headlights, Low beams) - 2013-2014 Lexus ES350h (fog lights using H16 JDM / H11 HID bulb) - BMW's using H11/H8 HID bulbs as the angel eyes |

Note: 50w ballasts will optically drop the temperature 1000k when compared to similar bulbs using 35w ballasts.
Note: Headlight and fog light housing sizes will affect the color
output. Refraction housings and dirty headlights will emit more
color than clear reflector housings.
Note: If you're attempting to match your fog lights to the OEM headlight lights, use 5000k. It is the closest match you'll get without being completely, visually different.

Sellers Notes / Frequently Asked Questions:
Q) Is this a "good" kit?
A) This answer depends entirely on the ballasts you choose. We use the same bulbs across the entire HID line to ensure both quality and consistency. This leaves the ballasts as the primary variable. While we do carry the cheaper 35w DC Analog ballasts, I do not recommend them. These are a similar ballasts that you'll see amongst the cheaper range of HID kits.
For most applications, I recommend the 35w AC Digital ballasts. Our general experience has been 2-3 years for 95% of the the 35w AC Digital kits. Compare that to the 2 weeks to 4 months on the 35w DC Analog ballasts.
NOTE: This excludes vehicles that have Daytime Running Lights. Look further down for more.
We do carry higher quality kits but the price goes up accordingly. Our top of the line kit uses Canbus Pro ballasts. These are kits have a built-in warning canceler and we typically use on BMW's, Audi's, Mercedes, '02+ Dodge Ram's, '04+ Dodge / Jeep /Chrysler, and '08+ Fords. Warm up time on the Canbus Pro HID kits is quick compared to lower quality ballasts.
Q) Will this fit my vehicle?
A)
1 - Sylvania maintains a wonderfully detailed automotive bulb size database. It is here [https://www.osram.us/apps/vlrg-us/Vlrg/].
2 -
I maintain an Excel sheet with various notes on compatibility issues. If your car is a...
* BMW
*
Mercedes
*
Audi
*
Jaguar
*
Land Rover
*
VW
*
Saab
*
Volvo
*
Dodge (2002 and newer)
*
Chrysler (2004 and newer)
*
Jeep (2004 and newer)
* Chevrolet or GMC (2014 or newer)
...
then it would be a good idea to contact us ahead of time for what the necessary fix would be.
Q) What is a Daytime Running Lamp (DRL), and why does this need to be disabled?
A) Daytime running lamps are when the vehicles sends an irregular voltage to the headlights to keep the halogen lights on, but not at full brightness. This is often done on the high beams or parking lights, but some vehicles do this on the low beams. If this is the case, it must be disabled. Every vehicle is different and has different methods of handling the DRL. Some cars, you can get away with running warning cancelers, sometimes it's a relay harness, other times it's a combination of both. Worst case scenario, none of the above and it's not even doable.
If you fail to disable the DRL's or bypass the DRL's, you will shorten the life of your HID kit to a matter of days to a couple months. Failures of this level will not be warrantied.
