High Intensity Discharge (HID) is the next generation in lighting. It makes your headlight light 3 times brighter than stock halogen bulbs. HID capsules (bulbs) do not use filaments to produce the light, like stock bulbs. Light is produced by the conduction of two electrodes enclosed in a gas filled capsule. This process makes the light source burn much cooler than halogen bulbs. Since there is not filament, you can never burn out the filament, thus HID will last more than the life of any car. In addition, it only uses 35w of power compared to 55w halogen bulbs. The color on the light is much whiter, bluer, crisper, and much much brighter. This will give better lighting for night time driving, reduce eye strains/fatigue, and safer. There are a lot more info on the web. If you have a chance, you should do some research.
Hope this partially gives you an idea of HID.
