Philips Xenon HID Chevrolet 2000-2006 Suburban, 2000-2006 Tahoo, 1999- 2002 Silverado HID Projector Low Beam/ Halogen High Beam Headlight Complete Assembly

Halogen Headlights vs. Philips® Xenon HID:

• 300% more light output - 700 lumens in Halogen vs. 3,200 lumens in Xenon HID
• Higher color temperature - whiter light for driving in inclement weather
• Enhanced peripheral vision - Approximately 160°
• Lower power consumption - 5.5 Amps halogen vs. 3.3 Amps Xenon HID
• Improved down-road illumination
• 10x's longer life (200-300 hours halogen vs. 3,000 hours Xenon HID
• Complete retrofit kit for simple installation (includes complete new DOT compliant housing)
• DOT Compliant and complies with Federal Motor Safety Standard FMVSS 108 and SAE J2009 Discharge Forward Lighting System Specifications
• Philip's One Year manufactuer's warranty against manufacturing defects.

This Kit replaces standard OEM headlight assemblies.

The 5020 Headlight Kit includes the following components for easy installation:

• 2 Projector Xenon Low Beam light assemblies, 2 Halogen High Beam light assemblies, 2 control ballasts, 2 HID light sources with ignitors, all wiring, wiring diagram and mounting instructions for the HID light sources.  Unlike 'retrofit' or 'adapter' packages that replace some elements of an existing headlamp system, the HID Headlight Kit includes all components including housing (reflectors and clear covers).  This kit will replace your yellowing headlight covers.
  

• High Intensity Discharge (HID) is a type of lighting technology that replaces the filament of the light bulb with a capsule of gas. Xenon is the most common gas used in automotive HID systems. When high voltage is applied, the Xenon gas is ignited to produce an arc of light. The amount of light produced is greater than a standard halogen bulb while consuming less power and more closely approximating the color temperature of natural daylight. On the road, Xenon HID headlights appear as a bright white with a light blue tint.

• HID lighting has several advantages over conventional lighting systems:  

o    300% more light output with approximately 50% lower power consumption (3.3A vs. 5.5A). A 35 Watt HID light source produces up to 3x's the lumens at the light source when compared to a 55 Watt halogen bulb (3200 Lumens vs. 700 Lumens).

o    Whiter light. The color temperature of HID lighting more closely approximates the color temperature of natural daylight than does a halogen system, which appears yellowish.

• The supplied ballast cable is 12" in length to facilitate mounting the ballast in a dry location. A separate wiring harness is supplied as the existing vehicle wiring is not designed to support the initial 30 second start-up current required for an HID ballast.

• Easy installation:  Pull two pins to remove highlight assembly in order to install low and high beam light assemblies and reassemble.  Less than 10 minutes per side to install.

• What if I have alternating flashers (wig wags) on my headlights?   This kit includes specially designed halogen high beam headlights that can be utilized with high beam alternating flashers.  The low beam Xenon headlights cannot be flashed for wig wags.
