C.A.T. HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE LIGHTING SYSTEMS

The luminous intensity and colour of the C.A.T. HID system is truly like harnessing the brightness of the sun. You will be able to see further and wider ahead of you and also have less eye fatigue when driving at night. The kits are available for cars, motorcycles, buses, marine and aviation lighting systems and many more applications. Contact us for further details.

INSTALLATION

Installation of our systems is relatively straightforward for a trained or competent installer following the instructions exactly as described in the supplied manual. This is due to the aforementioned special design of the C.A.T. HID capsule bases as well as the unique connection system for the control boxes and wiring that makes it virtually impossible to incorrectly connect and install the system.

As a general 'rule of thumb' if you can install a stereo system you can install one of our HID systems.

However, should you wish we (or one of our approved installers) can carry out the work for you. Click on the link HERE for our approved installers. Below is also a table of typical installation times for some popular car models (please note these are estimates only and are subject to variation depending on each individual car).

IMPORTANT!!.

The entire C.A.T. HID system must be pre-tested BEFORE breaking the seals of the HID capsule boxes, or the dealer warranty will be void. If a HID capsule is found to be faulty AFTER its seal has been broken, this becomes an 'End User Warranty claim'. To make an End User claim, you must first register the C.A.T. HID kit with your registered authorised distributor and then return the complete C.A.T. HID kit to the distributor and / or manufacturer for inspection, before any decision can be made on warranty coverage. C.A.T. will accept NO responsibility for any damage resulting from improper handling, negligence, accidents, product modifications, or abnormal use.

We have an extensively appointed workshop where you can get your C.A.T. HID lighting system fitted.
