Will do. No worries.
HID or more widely known as xenon lamps due to a gas inside the bulbs, have been growing immensely popular over the past few years, coming as standard or optional equipment on various European and Japanese marques.
Why is this lighting system taking over the automobile industry by storm? Apart from being brighter: at least 70% more light output than conventional halogen headlamps, it consumes only 35 watts per capsule, VS halogen’s 55 watts per bulb. In addition, it has a life expectancy of 5 times longer than standard halogen lamps (2,000 hours VS 500 hours or less).
It is very easy for a driver to distinguish a car equipped with HID or normal halogen headlamps, as HID’s lamp emits light with a slight bluish tint. HID headlamps have a longer and wider range, thus improving the driver’s fields of vision. Driver fatigue is also reduced as a road that is illuminated more brightly and widely by HID headlamps, reduces the amount of concentration needed, so drivers do not risk being weary so quickly.
A full HID system consists of:
Bulb
Ballast
Ignitor (external, integrated into ballast or integrated into bulbs)
Reflector/Projector
Lens
HID headlamps are rather sophisticated equipment. While many vendors and shops boast the facility and HID kits that can be installed to a car which does not have HID as standard, there is more to HID than just fitting a HID bulb in place of the halogen bulb. As the beam of light from a HID lamp is brighter, wider and further, the reflector or projector of the car must be aimed and aligned to ensure that it does not cause glare or affect the field of vision of other drivers on the road. The arc light source of HID headlamps is fundamentally different from that of halogen headlamps, thus HID specified optics are required to collect and distribute the light. To illustrate this point, think of it as putting on someone else’s glasses: you can probably make them fit your face, but you won’t see properly.

wrong rooster and yamaha.yamaha said:
HID lighting system is the BEST LIGHTING in the world.
it consumes LESS power but HIGH lumens (brightness)
HID consumes only 35watts.
imagine that!
35watts consumption but has 300% more brighter than halogen.
its better than halogen, it can see best in the rain depending on
your HID lamp color temperature (K)
heres a summary:
4300K lamp = highest lumens (color white yellow, typical halogen color)
6000K lamp = super bright (white color)
8000K lamp = bluish color (Good for vanity, BAD for the rain)
i suggest to get anything between 4300K to 6000K color temperature
when you buy HID light.
4300K is the best if for safety reason because it has the HIGHEST LUMENS
NOTE:
HID has two parts:
- Ballast
- xenon lamp (bulb)
it also cost around USD$100 or more
anything below that is not HID but just a typical bulb but marketted as "HID LIKE"

its not my car brorooster said:
i only have motorcycle Good luck wangyo! im sure you wont regret having HID on your bike.
please post the step by step
kia picanto...wow it cost about 10000 US $ here....
do you know that your car's engine is really a Hyundai engine??
yes i'm sure of that coz i used to be a salesman for Hyundai automobiles..
hehehe...
KIA motors were bought by Hyundai 3-4 years ago...
since then it's just the brand but all stuff are made by Hyundai...
even the KIA mechanics buy engine parts from my Hyundai dealer sometimes..
sure coz some of the engine parts are the exactly same...
it's a nice car by the way..
it's the 2005 indonesian city car of the year...
best known for its low fuel consumption...

good one yamaha.
tip:
you can put your cdi on top of the previous cdi holder.
it fits fine.
also you should bought the HID for motorcycle, you wont need epoxy since
the bulb holder will fit directly plug and play.
but anyway its good that you have HID already
btw what K rating is your HID bulb?
