A Simple Guide to Install HID Kits

Newer vehicle models typically come with HID headlights as standard. These lights provide more visibility to make night driving much safer. If your car did not come with them, no problem; you always have the option to replace its factory lighting using the brightest HID kit. You can buy that from reputable automotive lighting retailers, and it should come with the important parts you need to convert your car’s standard headlights to HID. You can also consider that kit if you need to replace old and burned-out HID lights!

 

Before you install the brightest HID kit, switch off the engine and wait for it to cool down, and disconnect the battery to ensure your safety.

 

Installing an HID kit may seem complex and intimidating, but it is actually quite easy as long as you follow the instructions. Here is a simple guide to help you get started:

 

  • Open the hood of your vehicle, then open the back cap of the headlight assembly to access and remove the stock bulb. Avoid touching the glass of the bulb with your finger. For safety wear gloves.
  • Insert the HID light into the housing. Be gentle when removing the plastic cap and never touch the bulb to avoid getting your fingerprints on it. In case you did, clean up any smudges using rubbing alcohol.
  • Insert the bulb into the headlight and connect it with the ballast. From there, you can connect the HID ballast back to the stock socket.
  • Test the HID light. If it does not light up, you can flip the adapter 180 degrees, and then test again. Some vehicles have reverse polarity on their wiring, so you may need to reverse the connector inserted into the ballast. Switching the polarity should almost always fix that problem.

 

Keep in mind that this is just a simplified guide. You should still browse the directions that come with the brightest HID kit that have you purchased to avoid making costly mistakes. And if you are still not confident with your skills to do a DIY installation, you have the option to hire a professional to do it for you!
