HID Lights for Teen Drivers

Many parents have installed added safety features on their teenage son or daughterâEUR(TM)s vehicle. When it comes to family, safety is the number one priority. One item that has become a hot trend due to its functionality, style, and added value, are HID lights.
When it comes time to send a child out onto the roads in his or her very first vehicle, many parents spend sleepless nights worrying about the dangers involved with driving on todayâEUR(TM)s roads. Many parents pack emergency kits for in the car trunks of their children, harp about always wearing a seatbelt, and have their children call to check in once theyâEUR(TM)ve arrived safely. Another safety feature that many parents have been clamouring for are HID lights (to replace the more traditional xenon fog lights).
The main benefit of these lights is obvious. Because the Xenon gas in its cylindrical filament burns significantly brighter than the traditional metal ones, an HID headlight actually puts out more light than is useful, meaning that mechanical blinders are used to shield out excess light. What this equates to in terms of safety is that the driver of a vehicle with HID lights can see much further in the dark.
With more time to react to obstacles in the road, accidents are less likely to occur. What few people consider is that other drivers on the road actually benefit from swapping out xenon fog lights-- when other vehicles have more time to see you coming, the safety benefits double.
HID kits are also easy to install. Straight from the package, even the most inexperienced handyman can install these lights with only the most basic of tools. Two lights can easily be installed in well under an hour (the instructions are simple and easy to follow).
Of course, what good would a new product be without added value? When comparing HID lights to traditional xenon fog lights, there is a steep comparison on the value front. With rickety old metal filaments and the constant switching back and forth from bright to regular lights, standard bulbs burn out very quickly. But with a gas-filled chamber in place of the filament, and the mechanical blinding shield acting as the difference between bright and regular lights, HID headlights have been known to outlast the brand new vehicles into which they have been installed.
So when the time comes for your son or daughter to start driving, which lights would you rather they be driving behind?
