F.A.Q
(1)What does our HID CONVERSION KIT include?
Our McCulloch HID Conversion Kits include all necessary materials needed for
installation. The Kit will include (2) Direct-Plug HID Bulbs (for perfect
installation), (2) Ballasts, (2) Igniters, along with all necessary wiring.
McCulloch HID Conversion Kits are plug and play, which is perfect for clean
and accurate installation.
(2)Wouldn't it be better for me to purchase a halogen bulb with
higher voltage, instead of buying HID bulbs?
McCulloch HID lamps are 35 watts, while standard halogen bulbs are 55 watts.
Although, HID lamps work with less watts, they still produce 3x more light.
The halogen lamp with an increase in wattage will make the light brighter,
but will still be dimmer than the HID lamps.
(3) Why do I have to purchase the whole kit? Why can't I just order the
HID bulbs?
Cars use a 12 Volt Electrical System for their headlights. HID systems use
over 20,000 volts to ignite our bulbs. For this process to work, with out
kits we include ballasts, which allow the HID bulbs to run without a
problem. These ballasts are taking in all the necessary energy to keep the
HID bulbs running longer than your automobile.
(4)What separates genuine Xenon gas-filled bulbs from Xenon HID?
HID (High Intensity Discharge) is the technology in which the filament of
the Halogen Bulb is replaced with Xenon gas. When high voltage is applied,
the gas generates an arc of light. The Xenon gas generates 3x more light
than standard halogen bulbs. Most companies do produce gas-filled halogen
bulbs. These bulbs do consist of a filament, but the gas gives off a bluer
color. The negative part of xenon-filled halogen bulbs, is they produce very
little or no more then standard halogen bulbs with the same voltage.
(5)Are these HID light systems street legal?
NO XENON HID conversion kit available from any source is DOT approved if
installed outside of the factory. Moreover, in the U.S, this is not street
legal for use on public roads. As a result, we officially endorse the kit
for exhibition and off-road use and will only sell the kit to be used for
these purposes. We are not responsible for buyers who violate the terms of
sale while in which they will assume all responsibilities for any
unauthorized or unintended use other than exhibition or off-road use.
(6)Will I be able to perform the installation myself?
McCulloch Hid Kits are plug and play, which gives you the opportunity to do
the installation yourself. If you follow the instructions given to you on
our installation page, you will be able to get it done within 30 minutes.
Although, easy to install, we are not responsible for any mishaps in the
process.
(7)Will I be able to re-install my standard halogen lights at anytime?
We understand that people sell their cars, so its known that taking out your
HID Kit is important. With our kits you will be able to uninstall your kit
and replace will standard halogen or any lights of your preference. The
process is exactly like the installation, but instead backwards. The HID Kit
that is taken out, can be used in another automobile with the same bulb
size.
(8)How long will your bulbs last?
Our bulbs are designed to out-last your car. When tested, an average of 2500
hours was given as the life of our bulbs. McCulloch uses the finest
materials available to produce our HID bulbs.
