Product Summary:

The driving beam, part number 900HIDD features 165,000 candle power with a visible range of 1600 feet and a low amp draw from its 35 watt light source. The horizontal beam has a 25 degree spread and a 6.7 degree vertical beam spread.

The spot beam, part number 900HIDS boasts 873,000 candle power with 3000 feet of visible range. It has a 6.5 degree horizontal beam with a 5.5 degree vertical spread.

So, how do HID systems work anyway?

HID systems produce a brilliant white light by establishing a high-voltage (30,000 volts) electrical arc between two electrodes within a sealed glass tube. Once the arc is established, the system's ballast lowers the voltage to normal operating conditions. Because there is no filament to break or disintegrate, the service life of an HID bulb is approximately 3,000 hours, as opposed to a standard halogen bulb's lifespan of less than 400 hours. The light produced by HID is of a much higher "color temperature" that closely resembles sunlight, thus reducing strain and stress on the driver's eyes. Despite the massive amount of light produced from the 900HID, the 35W bulbs will not strain your vehicle's charging system.
