Which is best for your vehicle? LED or HID Lighting
Often, our customers who are interested in a lighting upgrade for their vehicle ask: which lighting system is best for my vehicle: LED or HID Lighting?
LED (Light Emitting Diode) Lighting
- LED Lights are compact, energy efficient lights capable of producing very bright light, with noticeably less glare than HID Lights.
- Unlike HID Lights, LED Lights provide instant light when turned on.
- LED Lights do not get hot, although they do cause heat in the surrounding assemblies and wiring harnesses.
- LED Lights, like HID Lights, are often mistaken as high beams.
HID (High Intensity Discharge) Lighting
- HID Lights last longer, burn brighter and use less power than a vehicle’s halogen lights.
- HID Lights function like Neon lights, except that they use Xenon instead of Neon gas.
- HID Headlights give off a very bright, very whitish-bluish appearance, which illuminates the darkness far better than conventional lights.
- They last longer than most lights, often exceeding 2,000 hours or even higher.
- One drawback of HID Lights is that they do not create immediate light after turning on, as the LED Lights do, which could be an issue during an emergency.
