Smoked w/ HID'S, pics?

[eliyarbrough]

I have tried looking and doing a search for some and I cannot find any. I was hoping to find some smoked lights with HID'S. One @ night too would be even better! Thanks!!

i never understood.... what is a HID ? is it like a totally different type of bulb that is so bright, so violent that you need a special housing and connector for it?

I thought in an earlier post y'all said I could run HID's in my smoked lenses? I just do not know, sorry!

High-intensity discharge (HID) lamps are electrical lamps producing light by means of an electric arc between tungsten electrodes housed inside a translucent or transparent fused quartz or fused alumina tube. This tube is filled with both gas and metal salts. The gas facilitates the arc's initial strike. Once the arc is started, it heats and evaporates the metal salts forming a plasma, which greatly increases the intensity of light produced by the arc and reduces its power consumption.
Compared with fluorescent and incandescent lamps, HID lamps have much higher efficacy: they give a greater amount of light output per watt of electricity input.

Are those the blue colored lights? Like in an S2000?

They are Not "Blue Colored Lights".... The S2000 Doesnt have "Blue Colored Lights".

They are Called HID's..... The color is determined by the temperature of the Zenon Gas inside the Bulb. THEY ARE NOT HALOGEN . My HIDs are 6000k (Meaning then Burn at 6000 Degrees Kelvin.

S2000 Uses VALEO HIDS, same as AUDI

i reallly want HID's but dont feel like researching them for some reason.

and idc if i need new housings. mine are crap anyways.

Hmmm I see blue. :dunno:

 

[SRT Handz]

i could have spent time explaining what HIDs are but its so much easier to cut and paste

 

[realitygt]

cut and paste

Steve-Oh, what temp you sportin?

 

[griffin7t1]

on the left sylvania silverstars on thye right hid's (10,000k)

 

[eliyarbrough]

Is that pic @ night of your HID light? It's the left light, so I'm not for sure. Thanks!!

 

[griffin7t1]

noo noo. that pic at night was of the hid. i know in the above pic the left side is the sliverstar
