Well it's not really slang. HID is High Intensity Discharge lighting. Ohlins is a brand of shock and also suspension components.

He's partially right, he forgot to add that they also mean $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and lots of it! HID's have come down a lot in the past few years but Ohlin's haven't.
