Important: A halogen H15 normally does 2 functions, a headlight beam (either dipped or main) and the DRL (Daylight Running Light). An HID bulb cannot perform both of these functions as the technology won't allow for this. Therefore upgrading from a halogen H15 to an HID H15 kit will result in the loss of your DRL function.
Note: This HID Kit is for the replacement of two headlamp bulbs. The kit contains two HID bulbs and two ballasts.
What is an H15 Stealth HID Kit?
An H15 HID kit is simply a kit that allows you to upgrade your existing H15 halogen bulbs to Xenon HID (High Intensity Discharge) technology seen on many newer cars. The benefit of upgrading to HID is the huge amount of extra light you get compared to the yellow candle like light that a standard H15 halogen bulb will emit.
How much extra light do I get from a 55W HID Kit?
This will differ somewhat from car to car, however the 55W Stealth HID Kits will give approximately 400% more light on the road. This is a massive improvement which will transform your night time driving experience. Not only are these brighter than halogen bulbs, you are getting more light than you would get from an OEM factory fit system! Hazards, road markings, corners, signs and anything else you need to see will be far more visible, increasing road safety significantly.
What's so good about the H15 Stealth HID Kit?
This is a fair question as there are a large number of HID kits available on the market, especially on the "cheap and cheerful" marketplaces that we all know and love! However, despite first appearances, all HID kits are not built the same!
Here at HIDS4U, we are not just a reseller. We do extensive testing and product development on our HID conversion kits. We ensure only the best quality components are used to give you the performance you are expecting.
With our products you can expect the following:
- Correct beam pattern due to perfectly aligned light source in our bulbs.
- Consistent bright light due to the quality of the bulbs and ballasts in perfect combination.
- No error messages on 99% of vehicles due to the advanced CANBus compatibility systems developed for our ballasts.
- No radio interference due to the EMF suppression technology.
- No damage to other vehicle components (like the wiper motor) due to surge protection technology.
- Slim and stylish ballast to fit in even the tightest of spaces and to look good while it's there!
- 2 year warranty on all parts as we stand behind our product quality.
What colour H15 HID bulbs can I have?
We offer 3 different colour temperatures depending on your preference. The choice is largely between maximum light output and colour. Let's run through the options:
- 5000K - The most popular due to them being the brightest of the three. You get a much whiter light than a halogen bulb, but without the blue tint you see with higher K rated bulbs.
- 6000K - A close second in popularity, only slightly less bright than the 5000K bulbs, but these also come with the added blue tint for that stylish Xenon look.
- 8000K - Light output drops off with these as the colour comes with a strong blue hue. Very much in the styling camp and great to stand out from the crowd at shows. Not as popular as the others, but still a great improvement in light output.
Do I need a mechanic to fit an HID Kit?
In a word, no! These kits are provided on a DIY plug and play basis. The H15 HID bulbs are a direct replacement for your existing H15 halogens and you then simply connect the bulb cables to the ballast using the plug and play connectors. Often our Stealth ballasts will fit inside the headlight unit, but in the case where you have little room within the unit, you can mount the ballasts in the engine bay. This will require you to drill a small hole in your dust cover to allow the bulb and ballast cables to connect.
Our instructions are written by ourselves in an easy to follow, step by step process and is in proper English. We are also on hand to assist with any queries or issues you have to ensure you are up and running with these as soon as possible.
Is a 55W HID Kit my only option?
The HIDS4U Stealth kits come in two different power ratings, these 55W kits and also a 35W version. The difference is simply the brightness. The H15 35W Stealth HID kits will give up to 300% more light compared to a halogen, whereas these 55W kits are rated at 400% brighter. Most vehicles will be fine with either so it's entirely up to you which one you go for. However some modern vehicles do not like the startup current required to power these 55W kits up. In these cases we recommend using a relay harness to bypass the core vehicle systems, or simply use a 35W kit instead.
