High Intensity Discharge.
They are Xenon lights that give a very white light.
Also it is illigal to put HID bulbs in to a Headlamp designed for a halogen bulb i might add!!

there not bad kits, you get the Ballast, ignitor and bulb.
You dont get the projector lense, so basically they dont work as they should.
just a warning.
I.e basically HID are meant to be projector light.
Normal halogen is reflected light.
HID bulbs are focussed bulbs, this is done by the projector lense using a prism.
so basically if you put a HID bulb in a standard reflector, the light will just be fooking everywhere and blind everyone.

I've noticed a few guys have fitted these to their Morretts. Do they do a special outer glass for these then?
