The ford focus HID headlights are made with a revolutionary concept that makes it possible to offer lights of intensity.
The headlights uses a tube of xenon gas and small amounts of other noble gases placed between two high voltage
electrodes that produce a bright bluish or white light that activates the electrodes. The regulation of light is done by
the quality German ballasts. The resultant light beam is of high intensity and never fluctuates
 
Ford headlights are  preferred because they are a complete plug and play system; power efficient ( about 35w of electricity);
has a longer life of 3 to 4 years, safe to use facilitated by its bright nature on the road and are attractive, cool bluish
or white color which appeals to the eye and makes all things easier to see.

So there!   :D

It will go between 80 and 100 miles before you charge it again depending on the terrain and your foot.
The cost to charge it will vary between 2 and 4 dollars depending on your utility company. If you have
a short commute to work, this is the way to go. Many garages offer free charging stations. You can wave
at your friends filling up at the gas station.

 :aok




lol Those are HID lights. My Daughter's camaro has HIDs. The whitest are 6000. If you go higher they go to blue then purple. The blue and purple are actually illegal in all states but you see some with them still.

 not only that, but you often see some schmucks running around with older cars that use plain old 9004, 9005, 9006 or 9007 bulbs....but they're blue tinted. they do this 'cause they think they're cool.

 i almost opted the hid lights into my mustang, but i like the looks of the car better with the normal lights. they're plenty bright too.

Only if you buy the cheap HIDs. Properly installed quality HIDs do not blind oncoming traffic. In reflectors it is important that the light source be located exactly where the manufacturer intended.

Many folks think the bright and dim lights are two different brightneses. They are not. All that happens is the lightsource is deviated slightly to reaim light. Those with 4 headlights, 2 being dim and 2 being bright, may use different bulbs. They are actually the same except the filament is slightly moved for a different reflection.

HIDs are actually much cooler than the halogen bulbs.
