Size:H1  |  Color:15000K SDX HID Xenon Headlight Replacement Bulbs - HID lights have a glass chamber of gas, replacing the filament of traditional halogen bulbs. The gas is ignited by a 23,000v charge and stays illuminated by a constant 12v source provided by a ballast which is connected directly to your battery. Remarkably, HID lights are able to provide greater light output with much less power consumption. Studies show that a 35w HID lamp produces 3 times as much light than a 55w halogen bulb. Also, a halogen bulb uses a continuous power draw of 10-15 amps, while the HID system uses 20 amps for ignition, but then drops to a mere 3 amps during operation (i.e. up to 80% less power during use!). In addition, the HID headlamp provides longer service life. With no filament to vibrate and fatigue, under normal conditions HID bulbs last roughly 10 times longer than halogen bulbs. What is HID Color Temperature? Color temperature is a characteristic of light that is sometimes mistaken as brightness, when it is more closely related to “cool” and “warm” tones of light. Color temperature is a measure in Degrees Kelvin of the hue of a light source, in this case the HID bulb. (The term color temperature actually refers to the color associated with the amount of heat needed to produce that color from an ideal black body.) It is hard to describe HID colors accurately since many variables such as voltage, type of ballast and the environment can affect color output. Also, color perception is subjective. That said, here is a rough guide to Color Temperatures for HID bulbs: 3000K = Yellow, 4300K = Bright white yellow tinge, 5000K = Pure white, 6000K = Bright white (some detect slight blue), 8000K = White with blue tinge, 10000K = Light blue, 12000K = Blue, 15000K = Darker Blue (may appear violet), 20000K = Blue indigo, 30000K = Indigo.

SDX is the one you want
II had initially purchased the HID conversion kit offered by the same company, and I was very happy with that purchase. Everything was easy to install, the instructions were a little tricky but nothing I couldn't figure out, and I finally had the uber-headlights I've always wanted. Then, one brisk November evening driving home from work, a deer hit me. I think it had been drinking, but I am not sure as someone had already loaded it into their truck and sped off. The only damage was one destroyed headlight.We replaced the headlight assembly, and found that the bulb was damaged from the impact, so I bought these replacement bulbs. Then found that the ballast was shot. You know how it is when you're working on a car, plumbing, renovating, et cetera: once you fix one thing, another issue presents itself. So, I had to replace the ballasts.I am pleased to report that my lights are now fully operational. I am very impressed with SDX's products and as long as they are sellers, I will never have factory headlights again. The bulbs arrive as shown, with the protective thingies around the bulb, and installed without a problem. The bulbs are bright and the color is exactly as specified. Every reflective surface almost to the horizon lights right up at night. I had spent weeks researching HID conversion kits prior to my initial purchase of the kit, and I without a doubt recommend SDX.

Nice Color, Buy a second set just in case.
I can say that these in fact are 5000k, unlike another seller (SuperDuperLED) that put white-out on the box to sell 6000ks as "5000ks"Not much to say, they are working, they are bright, and they look good. Initially there was a difference in color, however after getting them though their break-in period they seem to be better now. First startup one of them was orange and still is upon startup... in my experience this is an early indication of a bulb that is likely to fail. For the price though it's not worth getting them swapped out. Perhaps they will be just fine anyway. I will probably order another set as backups in case the worst should happen. It's usually not a bad idea to have a second bulb handy in the car should you be on a long road trip.They work, they're cheap, and it's the color I wanted. Can't complain. I'm Happy.

These "10000k" bulbs are a much better look than 6000k bulbs I bought in 2014
First, this is my second time buying HIDs from Kensun. These "10000k" bulbs are a much better look than 6000k bulbs I bought in 2014. This not a negative comment, I just like the 10k better. I hope you saw I bought this kit in 2014 and the ballast still work. I even stop using one for several months and when I plugged in, light was came right on. I'd like to say that Kensun should be in Best Buy, Walmart, Home Depot where their products should be used for all your lighting needs. These "10000k" bulbs are a very light blue color and the description is correct. They're a bright white with a hint of blue, it's a bit more bluer in tint which is perfect. However, the shipping time was horrible, even thought the tracking showed they arrived on time. Prime Members beware. For the $$$ someone might want a bit better shipping option. I would've given more stars if so.UPDATEI should've said this is the second pair in two plus years. The second pair made it the first YEAR and a few months of ownership the light just stop working, and when this happened I emailed Kensun because calling them did not worked the first time. I used the Amazon email instead, good thing right? It's been almost a week now and no response. Hey it's under warranty for year, but it's expired. THANKS KENSUN/SDX.

Product Issue - Excellent Customer Service
***UPDATE***I received the replacement and they had the same issues as the first order. Contacted Kensun customer service again and they sent out another replacement. This time I went with the 8000k. They seem to work correctly, so I'm guessing the issue is with the 6000k bulbs. Changing my review to 4 stars since customer service was amazing and it seems to be an issue directly with those bulb temps.***Pending Replacement*** ***Will update when received***I've purchased these for my past 4 vehicles, and have LOVED them! No issues until the most recent set. 6 months old and a bulb stopped working. I ordered this replacement kit and the ones that came in were a different color and one bulb had a flicker (checked it with multiple ballasts to be sure it was the bulb itself). I called the Kensun customer service and explained my issues. They were very apologetic and told me they would ship me another replacement set free of charge.

Will not buy again
Not worth it for me. I decided to use my original stock headlights after trying to have these professionally installed twice. Flickering, and problems when turned on, one bulb wouldnt work. It may have been the ballast, so I did give that a bad review as well. They did work for a short time, few weeks, with constant problems, but the funny issue was the bulbs were slightly different in hue(color).

SDX is Top of the line...
Another great experience with SDX product. I've been using these HID Bulbs and Ballasts for years in different cars and they are great. (2002 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2008 Toyota Highlander and a couple of friends cars. The lifespan is acceptation and the durability is top of the line. On the 1 or 2 occasions that the bulbs did fail, costumer service responded to my emails quickly and replaced the faulty bulb with no problem. They even followed up to make sure everything went well with the replacement bulb. I've been very happy with this company and their products for over 5 years and I have no desire to change. Keep up it SDX!!!
