HID headlamps designed, engineered, manufactured, and certified or type-approved as HID headlamps are legal everywhere. "HID kits" and "projector retrofits", where HID bulbs are installed in headlamps not originally designed to accept them, are unsafe and illegal everywhere.
HID headlamps designed, engineered, manufactured, and certified or type-approved as HID headlamps are legal. "HID kits" and "projector retrofits" where an HID bulb or an HID projector is installed in a halogen headlamp are not legal (and they're also not safe). This answer applies to virtually every developed country in the world, and large parts of the developing world, including USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, all of Continental Europe and Scandinavia and the United Kingdom, Iceland, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, China, Russia, and South Africa.Many people in many of these places install "HID kits" or "projector retrofits" and get away with it for awhile (they don't get tickets) but that does not mean it's legal and it does not mean it's safe. It's neither of those things.
I have 2004 Sienna XLE and it did not come with HID headlights and was not offered as an option The Limited comes with HID standard.
HID means High Intensity Discharge and is a modern form of lighting in which a compact arc is used as the source of light. They are more efficient that halide lamps.
No, Havells Sylvania is a leading lighting manufacturer with a wide range of products including incandescent light bulbs, halogen lamps, HID lamps, and more. They are known for their innovation in the lighting industry, but they are not one of the largest manufacturers in the world.
From what i understand, HID kits are illegal unless you have a projector installed on your car so it controls the light output of the HID's. Projectors spread the light evenly and have a cut off point which don't blind on coming drivers. Don't just install the hid kit, replace your headlights with projects =)
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.
Incandescent heat lamps do not contain mercury. They use a tungsten filament that is heated to produce light and heat. Mercury is typically found in fluorescent and HID lamps, not incandescent ones.
DRL is your daytime running lamps, meaning that your headlights are on for safety during daytime driving. HID is just the type of bulb, very bright, the ones you dont want to meet at night.
HID is short for High Intensity Discharge and refers to lighting used by car manufactures for their car head lamps. The technology of HID offers a blue tint and causes less glare for other road users that approach the vehicle with these HID head lamp bulb fitted vehicles. The HID technology is mostly raved about as it uses less power to provide good bulb lighting.
Fluorescent lamps are not commonly used on streets because they are less energy-efficient than LED lights, which are more commonly used for outdoor lighting. LED lights offer better visibility, lower maintenance costs, and longer lifespan compared to fluorescent lamps. LED technology has largely replaced fluorescent lamps for street lighting due to its superior performance and energy savings.
