Best Answer

There are two ways to do this:

  1. Replace the entire light unit with a HID light unit compatible with the car, if one is available.
  2. Use an aftermarket HID conversion that fits standard bulb sockets, and adds HID bulbs and a ballast unit.

HID bulbs require a ballast unit to generate the high voltages required, so are not a direct replacement. In most HID kits, the power can be taken from the existing lighting power supply, so the lights operate as normal.

HID conversion kits are not road legal in some countries.

Can the hid lights on a 1996 Lincoln mark viii lsc be changed to regular lights?

You can easily change to regular lights, all you have to do is bypass the amp that's located behind the radiator on the passenger side. Make sure you disconnect the battery before you touch ANYTHING, because the amp creates enormous amounts of power that could actually be fatal. Hard to imagine from a 12V Battery right? Once you bypass the amp, you'll have to find a way to fit a regular bulb in your hid light sockets...just be creative.

How do hid lights measure brightness?

HID lights measure brightness in lumens, which is a unit of measurement that quantifies the total amount of visible light emitted. The brightness of HID lights can also be influenced by factors such as color temperature and beam pattern. Automotive HID lights are commonly rated in terms of lumens output to indicate their brightness level.

Is 6000K HID lights legal in Arizona?

Depends, HID KITS are not legal anywhere in the US, they violate US DOT law. HID lights that come factory with a proper projector designed with HID in mind (higher end cars; Audi, Mercedes). Practically, if you aim the HID lights down, as to not blind other drivers, its unlikely that a cop will pull you over, as they can't really tell if your lights stock or an addon kit.
