i'm finding a lot of conflicting information on the internet. Do 100W HIDs really run that might hotter than 55w halogen bulbs? I would think that since they're a lot more efficient, a lot less energy is wasted in heat. I want to put an HID kit in my 2008 cayenne, and I figure i may as well use 100w if possible. It has projectors that I can aim downward so i'm not blinding people.

@ryanazar They are not hotter than halogen globes for the same wattage, and the power to light output is much better than that of a halogen lamp. a 35watt HID kid over 55w halogen will be much better. my driving lights are 35W hid and 70w halogen headlights. and the HID far out performs the halogen lights.

excuse me, im want to purchase 2 new hallogen-xenonlook lights, i wonder what i should take, should i take the 12v 100w or the 12v 55w? and what should the difference be?

@pullzarNL Hi there, Halogen is different to HID - High intensity discharge. halogen has a filament that burns white, HID is an electrical arc that burns white. if you want a good kit for your car 55 watt HID is perfect and is far brighter than 55w halogen.

It's the people like you that think they need all this light to drive at night I fucking hate. You know how annoying this kind of shit is when you're driving behind other drivers? Especially when the typical 4x4/truck drivers are complete asshole/douche bags and tailgate you with their bright ass un-necessary HID's. (not saying you are) but I hope this isn't how you drive every night. lol

@FATLACE420 I do alot of night driving, in country areas, i dont use these lights when close to other drivers. i once made the mistake of leaving them on and had a guy about 1000m ahead of me flash his hazards. i dipped them straight away, i have had the choice to HID my headlights but i chose not to as to be respectful to other drivers. these lights are near on unbeatable, and cheap insurance against smashing into a roo or something else on dark open roads at night..

@aussietraindriver

It was a purposely ignorant statement. In America we drive on the right side of the road. Purely ethnocentric humor. No offense intended.
