HID

What is HID?

HID stands for High Intensity Discharge, and describes a type of lamp that uses gas and metal salts which burns in order to form a plasma, which greatly increases the intensity of the light produced. Compared to fluorescent and incandescent lamps, HID have longer lifespan and higher output for the same power consumption. HID bulbs last 2500 hours compared to the 400 hours of a halogen bulb.

Vision X uses HID lamps in offroad lights, industrial lights, and UTV-ATV headlamp replacement kits. Vision X HIDs have been used in the Baja 1000 by racers like BJ Baldwin, Roger Norman, and more. Vermont Sportscar - Subaru rally Team USA with driver Travis Pastrana and Team Subaru Canada with driver Patrick Richard use Vision X HID 6500 series lights for Rally races. In mines, on commercial trucks, and everywhere in between Vision X HID lights are tested and proven to be amongst the best on the market.
