About High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamps  
High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps use a gas capsule rather than a filament inside the bulb. Light  
is created by an electrical arc between two electrodes sealed in the bulb. A ballast is required to  
provide the proper voltage and maintain current control. HID bulbs create more light than a com-  
parable halogen lamp, and the light is closer in color to natural daylight than halogen light.  
In HID lamps, the light is produced by creating an electrical arc in a metal vapor. Free electrons  
colliding with an atom in the vapor momentarily knock an electron into a higher orbit of the atom.  
When the displaced electron falls back to its former level, a quantum of radiation is emitted. The  
wavelength of light produced depends on the shell level of the disturbed electron and on the ele-  
ment and ionization of the metal vapor used in the arc tube.  
Although producing only 5% of its output when first ignited, after a few seconds the HID lamp will  
come up to full output. Also, if power to the lamp is lost or turned off, the arc tube must cool before  
the arc can be restruck and light produced.  
HID lighting has several advantages over conventional halogen lights:  
• More light output. An HID light source produces light at approximately three to five times  
halogen’s efficiency. Efficiency is measured in lumens per watt, a measure of the amount of  
light produced for a given amount of electrical consumption. An HID lamp’s lumens per watt  
(LPW) efficiency is roughly six to eight times that of an incandescent lamp.  
brighter light. The color of HID lighting is closer to natural daylight than halogen or incan-  
descent light, which appear yellowish in comparison. Florescent light appears more green  
than natural daylight. Light color is described in degrees Kelvin. Typical color temperatures  
are 2800K (incandescent), 3000K (halogen), 4100K (cool white or SP41 fluorescent), and  
5000K (daylight-simulating fluorescent colors). HID lights produce a light with a color tem-  
perature at or above 5000K. Higher temperature lights appear brighter and bluer than lower  
temperature lights.  
• Longer Service Life. An HID lamp will last, on the average, 3 to 5 times as long as a halogen  
bulb. In normal use, your HID bulb should last more than one thousand ignitions.  
The HID ballast unit  
The HID ballast unit provides the voltage to strike and maintain the arc, and it regulates the current  
to the lamp once the arc is established. Ballasts are not interchangeable among different types of  
HID lamps. The HID Fog Lights (95058) will not operate without the provided Ballast Units. The  
ballast units are built into the HID Off-road Lights (95059).

Installation  
WARNING: Before Installation, disconnect negative then positive battery cables in that order.  
WARNING: Whenever drilling, be sure that drill will not damage any wires, tubes or components  
on either side of the member being drilled. Plan for your installation so units will be located con-  
veniently and wires will be routed out of the way of any other components. Plan to fill all drilled  
holes with sealant to prevent water intrusion or rust.  
1.  
Light Installation: Drill hole in front bumper to install light, (make sure there are no  
hidden wires in the drilling path). Fasten Light unit with nut and bolt. Adjust angle of  
lamp as desired. Connect the ground wire from the lamp to a clean grounded piece of  
metal on the vehicle frame.  
2.  
Install the as shown in the Installation Diagram on page 7. Attach one appropriately-sized  
red wire from fuse to the positive (red) battery cable. Connect another wire from the fuse to  
the positive terminal on the switch. Carefully route two more wires from the other positive  
terminal on the switch to the ballasts.  
3.  
4.  
wArNINg: Do not damage any cables, hoses or components when installing any com-  
ponent of this kit. Take care not to route wires where they may get tangled, pinched, cut,  
burned or otherwise damaged by the operation of the engine or movement of the car.  
Install Ballasts near lights. Connect lights to ballasts using the wire plugs. Connect positive  
wires from the light switches to the ballasts. See Installation Diagram on page 7.

Care and Troubleshooting of your HID Lights  
CAuTION: HID lamps emit ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation. HID bulbs operate at very  
high temperatures and pressures. Possible skin or eye irritation can result from exposures exceed-  
ing 15 minutes. Do not stare at exposed lamp in operation. During operation, the bulb should be  
enclosed in a housing to prevent injury. Do not remove bulb from equipment until it has cooled  
completely. Never handle the bulb when it is operating or until it has cooled!  
1.  
The lens of the lamps must be kept clean. The Fog Lights should be handled with care,  
giving special attention to the quartz arc tube.  
2.  
3.  
Maintain proper electrical wiring polarity to prevent damage to the lamp.  
Protect the quartz arc tube when handling the lamp. Keep the arc lamp clean. Do not touch  
the quartz tube or the inside surface of the reflector. If tube or reflector are dirty, clean with  
rubbing alcohol. Allow to dry completely before lighting.  
4.  
5.  
6.  
The bulb and ballast are sensitive to external operating temperature. Do not expose to  
extremely high or low ambient temperature.  
Periodically clean the lamp by wiping with a lint free towel or swab immersed in denatured  
alcohol. Allow to dry completely before lighting.  
While HID bulbs last considerably longer than halogen bulbs, several characteristics indicate  
that a bulb is approaching the end of its life-span. Initial symptoms of end-of-life include  
low light output and/or intermittent starting. Visual signs include blackening at the ends of  
the arc tube and electrode tip deterioration. Note that HID bulbs contain metals, including  
mercury, that can be harmful to the environment. Please dispose of any HID bulb in ac-  
cordance with local, state, and federal regulations.  
7.  
8.  
All lamps have a limited lifespan. However, if you are experiencing problems with your HID  
light inspect the following:  
bulbs:  
• Inspect for broken arc tube or outer lamp jacket  
• Make a visual inspection of the bulb for broken or loose components in lamp envelope  
• Inspect for arc tube end blackening  
• Inspect for deposits inside the outer glass envelope  
9.  
ballast and Capacitor points-of-failure:  
• Attempt ignition a second time after properly resetting the ballast by disconnecting, wait-  
ing 15 seconds, and then reconnecting the connectors attached to the lid.  
• Are you using identical replacement lamps?Your ballast will not work with incorrect watt-  
age lamps.  
• Avoid possible overheat due to ambient temperature  
• Inspect for miswiring/pinched wires  
• Inspect ballast housing and wiring for mechanical damage
