Installation on HID Bulbs
HID bulbs are easy to install if you have
access to the area behind the Headlight
assembly. Once you have access to
the bulbs, a short twist and pull will
remove them. You should remove the
old HID bulbs first before installing
handling the new bulbs to lessen the
chance of contaminating the new bulb
with oil from dirty hands.

Vehicles with HID Headlights
Today, nearly every auto manufacturer is
making a vehicle equipped with HID
headlights.
The most commonly used HID bulb by
auto manufacturers is still the HID-D2S
bulb. Followed closely behind in
popularity for new vehicles with HID
headlights is the HID-D2R bulb. A very
small percentage of vehicles on the road
use HID-D1S bulbs, and even less
vehicles use HID-D1R bulbs.
Toyota has started to use new HID bulbs
called HID-D4S. The D4S can be seen in
the new 2007 and newer Prius, Lexus IS,
GS, and LS.

HID Arc Lamp Technology
HID Bulbs use "arc-lamp" technology that
has been around for many years in
industrial applications.
In contrast to conventional bulbs that pass
electricity through a thin wire filament, an
arc-lamp uses higher voltage electricity to
create an "arc" of electricity between two
metal electrodes.
When the electrodes are encased by glass
in a small space, it creates what has come
to be known as an HID "burner. " Trace
amounts of minerals and xenon gas are
introduced to the HID burner, and a light 3
times brighter than filament based lighting
is produced.
History of HID Headlights
In 1996, Lincoln became the first brand of
automobile to introduce HID Headlights to
the world. From 1996 - 1998 the Lincoln
Mark VIII used the slightly large and now
hard to come by HID-9500 bulb. In 1997,
other manufactures began to follow suit
with use of the D2R bulb platform. D2R
bulbs were then closely followed by D2S
bulbs introduced by BMW and the rest is
History! Today, vehicles are still being
made with D2R and D2S bulbs but the
auto manufacturers have started to use the
D1S platform in newer vehicles. The D1S
bulb capsule and burner are the same as
the D2 bulbs, however the ignitor has been
attached directly to the bulb.

D2R HID Bulbs
The difference between D2R and D2S
bulbs is the ceramic paint located on the
quartz capsule of D2R bulbs. The
ceramic paint makes the D2R bulb ideal
for applications that use reflection
technology instead of projection through
a lens.
