How to Convert Neon Headlights

If you are dissatisfied with the look and brightness of your factory-installed headlights, you can convert them to neon headlights. Neon headlights are High Intensity Discharge (HID) bulbs with colored glass. HID headlight bulbs put out more lumens, a measure of brightness, and last longer than halogen headlight bulbs. Neon HID headlights are available at most auto stores and through online vendors.
