HID kit FAQ

What is Xenon light?

The xenon bulb is a micro discharge bulb filled with a mixture of noble gases including Xenon. The bulb has no filament as is the case with a halogen lamp. The light is created by striking and arc between 2 electrodes. The xenon lamp needs a starter for quick ignition and an electronic ballast to function properly.

What are the advantages of TURBOREVS XENON HID over traditional halogen bulbs?

More light output

A 35-Watt XENON HID lamp produces up to 3x the lumens at the light source when compared to a 55-Watt halogen bulb.

Whiter light

While the halogen light appears yellowish, the HID XENON lighting system produces a light that is closer to that of natural sunlight.

Increased Visibility

In most night time driving/bad weather situations, this combination of a whiter color and a greater light output allows for a safer and more illuminated drive.

Reduced power consumption

HID XENON lamp systems draw significantly less power from your vehicles electrical system.

Greater product life

HID XENON lamp systems are designed to outlast your vehicle. On average these bulbs will last 3-5 times longer than a traditional halogen bulb.

Distinctiveness

Could I re-install the original halogen bulbs after the HID XENON kit has been installed?

With the growing popularity of leasing vehicles, a big concern is whether or not you can bring the vehicle back to its original factory condition. Our kits install with little or no modifications to your vehicle. If need be, the entire kit can be removed and the original halogen bulbs replaced. This kit can be re-installed into another vehicle that uses the same bulb size.

I have Angel eyes on my car, can HID XENON kit still be installed?

Simple answer is yes, Turborevs HID XENON kits can be installed on cars with angel eyes, however we recommend the installation is done by a professional fitter.

Why can I not just replace the halogen bulb in my vehicle with HID XENON lamps with out having to purchase the entire kit?

Motorcycles and automobiles currently use a 12 Volt electrical system for their headlamps. HID XENON lighting systems require over 20,000 volts to ignite the bulbs. Once lit, they only require 12 volts to keep running. Our kits include a power pack that is necessary for the lamps to turn on. The input of the power pack is 12 volts. It is an integral part of the system.

How long will these bulbs last?

XENON HID lamps are designed to last for the life of your vehicle. They will run for approx 3000 hours. Our lamp kits and bulbs are made of the finest materials available.

Why was Xenon developed?

The car over the last decade has been made safer and more comfortable with the introduction of such technologies as ABS, Airbags and Air-conditioning. However 60% of all accidents take place in the dark. Therefore vehicle lighting plays a very big role in road safety. It is a fact that a 60 year old requires 10-11 times the amount of light to perform the same functions as a 20 years old. With the increase in the average age of the population more light is required to drive safely.
