Ever wonder how different HID bulbs and halogen lights are? 1. HID bulbs produce approximately ten times more intense light. If you measure it in its light intensity (candela). HID has 200,000cd compared to 20,000cd for halogen. HID bulbs last eight to ten times longer than halogen bulbs. HID takes 2750 hours compared to 300 hours for halogen 2. HID bulbs make at least four times brighter lights than halogen. If you measure it in its light intensity (lumens), HID has 3200lu compared to 800lu for halogen. 3. HID bulbs use less wattage than halogen bulbs. HID uses up 35w while halogen uses up 55-85w. 4. HID bulbs produce a lesser visual fatigue output than halogen lights because they have less infrared and UV lights. 5. HID bulbs have a higher Kelvin light, making it whiter than the output of a halogen bulb. 6. HID bulbs have a wider range of movement, which helps in distributing light more evenly. 7. HID bulbs produce wider and deeper beam patterns than halogen bulbs. 8. HID bulbs are much more expensive than halogen bulbs. 9. HID systems are very expensive when compared to halogen systems. HID and halogen bulbs have their own advantages and disadvantages in vehicles. Before you decide to choose one, make sure you know a lot about them so you can make the right decision.
The glow of xenon bulb can be different according to how bright or dim you would like them as these lights are offered in different capacity. If you are likely to have problems with your headlights, a xenon kit of 8,000K brightness will be right.

Hid stands for high intensity discharge and xenon is the name of the gas contained within the bulbs. Some people like to use the term HID kits others use the term xenon kits, they both mean the exact same thing. So a hid kit is the same as an xenon kit the wording just varies from person to person.
