Kensun HID Xenon Headlight Lamps
HID lights have a glass chamber of gas, replacing the filament of traditional halogen bulbs. The gas is ignited by a 23,000v charge and stays illuminated by a constant 12v source provided by a ballast which is connected directly to your battery.
Remarkably, HID lights are able to provide greater light output with much less power consumption. Studies show that a 35w HID lamp produces 3 times as much light than a 55w halogen bulb. Also, a halogen bulb uses a continuous power draw of 10-15 amps, while the HID system uses 20 amps for ignition, but then drops to a mere 3 amps during operation (i.e. up to 80% less power during use!).
In addition, the HID headlamp provides longer service life. With no filament to vibrate and fatigue, under normal conditions HID bulbs last roughly 10 times longer than halogen bulbs.
What is HID Color Temperature?
Color temperature is a characteristic of light that is sometimes mistaken as brightness, when it is more closely related to “cool” and “warm” tones of light. Color temperature is a measure in Degrees Kelvin of the hue of a light source, in this case the HID bulb. (The term color temperature actually refers to the color associated with the amount of heat needed to produce that color from an ideal black body.)
It is hard to describe HID colors accurately since many variables such as voltage, type of ballast and the environment can affect color output. Also, color perception is subjective. That said, here is a rough guide to Color Temperatures for HID bulbs:
3000K = Yellow4300K = Bright white yellow tinge5000K = Pure white6000K = Bright white (some detect slight blue)8000K = White with blue tinge10000K = Light blue12000K = Blue15000K = Darker Blue (may appear violet)20000K = Blue indigo30000K = Indigo

Diminishing Quality I have been using kensun for years and have recommended countless friends and family to the brand and purchased a half dozen times. However, the quality isn’t what it used to be 🙁 Twice I have been sent bulbs that are supposed to be 5k temp and they end up working for a week or two and then start turning pink. I’ve had very long lasting quality in the past (over two years on one set) that never changed color or had issues. I’ve ordered recently this past September of 17 and have already had…
Great bright light, great customer service. The KENSUN bulbs are great, I personally purchased the H4 size in 15,000K color. The color itself is super clear white, on the boarder of appearing blue. The bulbs themselves fit nicely in the OEM headlight assembly, except that the rear stick out slightly more than the OEM bulbs would. You want to make sure that you have a little bit of space to work with or they will be hard to install. Then again, it’s usually a difficult install anyways, even with regular bulbs.I got about 3…
These are not what you think, cheap taiwan made. So on first install on my FZ07, these are sold in a pair keep in mind, the first one lasted about 3 days before the main bulb blew out. It was while I was riding a mile or so from my house. Well I have moved since then, and have just been using my bright light when needed. So about 3 months into me living here which was today, I decided to switch the bulb out for one that works. So I pulled my headlight out, switches the lights, made sure all boots and things were in place, made sure the bulb…
