| Now I bet you have heard all these good things about | | | | gases. The reason halogen lights and the everyday |
| the HID conversion kits, whether they be the HID | | | | household lights burn out so easily is because they |
| xenon conversion kits or the McCulloch conversion kits, | | | | have filaments that deteriorate over time. Unless the |

| you find, and have for years found, people using in their | | | | a quartz tube that covers the filament. This tube is |
| cars and other vehicles? | | | | filled with halogen gases that react to they |
| For one thing, the HID conversion kits that are offered | | | | deteriorating filaments to redeposit the little bits that |
| today allow you to use headlights that are much more | | | | have been, almost literally, burned off. For this same |

| of using filaments incased in quartz that is filled with | | | | temperature than household lights. The little blackened |
| halogen gases, HID conversion kits, including HID xenon | | | | areas that you find on a household light are the area |
| conversion kits, use gases that react to the electricity | | | | where most of the deteriorated filament was |
