Hey guys, I just wanna know if HID light takes up more battery than normal bulb? And if so how much more?

 

Hey bro, it takes up less battery when it's stabilized. Don't worry about being a nuisance for your car, the beam can barely shine past the front's bumper!

its not the beam

its the filament

normal bulb have longer filament while hid is shorter thus when you look in your rear view mirror is like u switch on high beam

Yup, but thought that only applies to those normal crystal mirror type of headlamps?

depends on the HID u r getting, most HID consume 35W, but I undestand that there are higher power rating HID which take up higher power.

 

In general, good HIDs produce twice e light using half e power as compared to standard halogen bulbs.

Yes bro it's projector lamp! But I don't know the battery will take up alot for this car coz as I said even on hazard light the car almost cannot start already.Some bros here mentioned the volt stabilizer. Will that be useful on small CC cars?

How long is your batt?As long as your car is started before switching on headlight,shouldn't be an issue.

is your battery going to kaput soon? hazard light drain on power should not be so much that you don't have enough to crank the car..you should get it checked

Stay away from voltage stabilizer.. it's rubbish.. Since you have projectors, then mai tu liao, go and install HID confirm no problem..

My fren selling his 6000K to me.. But the rest of the wiring still in his car.. :wacko:

Then what's the difference between got projector and none?

I read somewhere that HID consumes half of the electric power required for a normal bulb, yet 3 times brighter..

 

But don't think it applies to the whole range of HID light right?
