Headlights are a safety issue on the highways. You don’t want to be caught unawares when darkness falls and you find that your headlights are unable to pierce the pitch dark envelope ahead and to your sides. It can be a frightening experience to drive through a sheet of rain or an impenetrable covering of fog or mist, especially when your headlights or the battery is old. The standard halogen lights have severe disadvantages. These draw a heavy current and throw far less light than you’d like to have. The bulbs do not last very long and the battery is at times unable to supply as much current as the headlights demand. The net result is very unsavory. It’s quite likely that you may have to pull off the road till the driving conditions improve. However, the HID headlight kits will change all that now. Each kit consists of two HID headlight bulbs, two ballasts and two ballast mounting brackets. The HID bulbs throw 300% more light than the standard halogen bulbs. The current drawn by the HID lights is 35% less than the earlier lights. There is therefore far less load on the battery and this is a good thing especially if your battery is getting on in years.
The average life of HID headlights is 3000 hours of use or 5-10 years and this is considerably more than the standard bulbs you’ve been using so far. The hid headlight kits are smart to look at too and can be installed without carrying out any modification or splicing. You can easily find out the HID equivalent for your automobile bulbs by looking up the bulb guide. You’ll find a large range of HID light bulbs and xenon conversion kits that includes H1 HID, H3 HID and H4, H7, H8, H9 and H10 HID kits. These are all made using the best quality material and craftsmanship.
The HID headlight kits come with installation instructions although the kits are plug n play kind and as mentioned, do not need any modifications for installation. The HID headlights are associated with numbers such as 3000k and 8000k. These numbers refer to color temperatures and each number is indicative of a color. Therefore, while 3000k represents yellow color, 8000k represents baby blue color. Each kit comes with a standard 1-year warranty though you can ask for the 2-year warranty or lifetime warranty if you like. There is an installation video for your kit that you can refer. Your order ships out the day after you place your order. Depending upon your location you’ll receive your order within a couple of days by FedEx.…
Did you know there were dozens of microchips in your car, sending signals to the main computer in it? Did you realize a computer was involved when you pulled on the handle of your sliding door and it shut automatically? Or how about when you went to back up, but a sensor went off because there was something small in the driveway that you did not see? Now there are even sensors that tells you when you driving into the other lane. Computers are present in a lot more components of your vehicle than you may have realized at first.
Did that sliding door get stuck halfway open this morning? Did the backup alarm keep going off, even though you were moving forward? Sounds like you need computer diagnostics to figure out exactly what is wrong. There are ASE technicians who are trained specifically to handle the electronic and computerized parts of the car. Diagnosing and finding a computer glitch can be trickier than you realized at first. It does take special training to be certified in these types of repairs, so check with the company where you are planning on taking your vehicle to make sure they have trained professionals.
Just like when your laptop at home does not function properly because of a circuit connection gone bad, your car can have the same thing happen. It takes a specialist to trace through your circuits and to spot exactly what and where the problem lays. Once they find it, then it can be repaired – usually pretty quickly. The hard part is finding exactly where the problem lays. That is also where the expense comes in – the time it takes the technician to locate the problem before it can be fixed.
How do they find a computer diagnostic problem? The vehicle is hooked up to a few different machines. The machines hook to the electronic system in the vehicle and look for codes or error messages to come up. The code can contain the location and the problem detected in your car. The technician can then get in to that location, check the wires and see where the problem is. It might be a quick and easy fix or it could be a larger problem, which requires a new computer chip or program installed in to your vehicle. Unfortunately, you won’t know anything until you have it checked out and evaluated, unless you happen to know computers and vehicles yourself!…
The amount you pay for your auto insurance depends on several factors, including your age, gender marital status, where you are and what you are driving. You can’t change your age or gender, it wouldn’t be cost-effective to move off to another state to save a few bucks. The easiest ways to start saving is to choose a more economical vehicle that costs less to insure and to be a safer driver.
First, your vehicle is a big determining factor in how much you pay.Having a hot rod or a big Hummer may be a great status symbol, but it is a hefty price to pay for such luxury. When insurance companies make premiums they base part of what you pay on the price of the vehicle, and part on how expensive it is to be repaired. Vehicles which are the targets of theft also can factor in to the cost of your premium. How much each is factored in can depend on your insurer as well, so this is not a concrete formula on your car insurance premium.
Next, there are things you just can’t control. Even though these factors are the ones you can control the least, they have the greatest control on your insurance rates. For example, single males under the age of 25 pay the highest rates. I know this personally because I am 26, and the decrease was a great relief! The rates are so high for that demographic because statistically they are in the most wrecks. Since I became married to my wife in 2010, I got to enjoy another decrease as well, as married men are cheaper to insure than single. (I wonder why, no more girls to impress…) Don’t look so smug so quickly, ladies, as some states have adopted rates not based on age or gender, and this has caused the rates for the fairer sex to increase. At least this is a legitimate complaint you can raise about men and how we are making it harder on your lives.
These are not the only factors that determine your rates. Unfortunately your driving record is a contributing factor as well, and thus drivers with spotless records pay the least, and your future destruction derby driver will cause you to pay the most. Maybe he’ll invent a great product one day or get a great career to pay you back for all those wrecked vehicles he accumulated learning to drive.
Where you live can also affect your insurance premiums. More densely-populated metropolitan areas have far more accidents than rural environments, so you pay more for being in a busier city. Makes that more rural, country area sound better and better, doesn’t it.
Remember, don’t go crazy choosing coverage. Everyone is quick to tell you how crazy and dangerous it is to be uninsured, but on the other side of the coin, it is just as crazy to have too much coverage as well. Even though the minimum requirement for state insurance is not nearly enough in most cases, there are ways to keep from getting the top-notch coverage while still keeping your possessions safe in the event of an accident.
A good rule of thumb to have is, “If you have more, get more insurance.” Just like how you struggled with choosing your car, its insurance is just has hard to decide on. Polls taken from surveys say that you could be paying up to $1000 more annually for the same coverage another company could give you. It never hurts to ask, and shopping around with some of the independent companies may save you more than the big names, and give you the same coverage.
There are ways to lower your premiums. First, drive safely, by avoiding collisions and tickets from traffic violations, most companies will offer compensation by giving certain “safe driving” discounts.
Maintaining good credit is becoming a growing trend to consider a person’s credit score when making premiums and setting payment rates. The higher your score the better.
Try dropping unnecessary extras. Things like costs for towing or replacement rental car expenses during repair work may sound like small things, but if your warranty covers these with roadside assistance, you’re paying twice for something you may only need once.
Increasing your deductible. This may sound counterproductive, but increasing your deductible lowers your rates! Of course you’re paying more for when a collision occurs, but the savings on every premium payment allows you room to put back a little bit each time in a savings account for those times you have to foot the bill when a wreck does occur.
There’s always checking your other options. The old rule is, “Look but don’t touch.” So what’s the harm in shopping around? Your situation may change so why not change policies …
