How do you know if ya have Hid lights or not?

 

[AFDakRT]

You'd have a ballast, the bulbs are noticeably different than a halogen, etc.

Regular headlights are typically slightly yellow or white. The HIDs can be white, but alot brighter, or bluish/purple.

Not really a good way to tell, HIDs can also be yellow. All depends on what temperature they are. 3000k HIDs are yellow.

 

[Fluffy]

Yeah, but those are really yellow, for fog lights.


I have seen them as headlights, that is really retarded.

 

[AFDakRT]

Retarded or not, i'm just saying that they're available. HID bulbs are noticeably different, good way to tell...

HID

And you know what a halogen looks like.

 

[klintok]

the ballast will make a distinct noise...at least most do
the back of light will have two weathertight connectors on wires(non hid's dont, the plug goes directly into bulb)
they have a warm up period

and finally if you have to ask, you dont have them

 

[YO MUDA]

Thanks for the good info brothers.

Go and stare directly into one of them...

If it burns like hell, you've got the HID's
If its 'tolerable', you've got halogens



:jester: dont mind me, the boys above covered it pretty swell
