In recent years, lighting has changed ... for cars, that is! It is no longer necessary for drivers to rely on halogen headlights, as xenon lamps come into vogue. Also, owners should not have spare taillights, since European [or Altezza] lights in fashion. Even the fog lights have come a long way, baby! Let me take a look at the new baby on the unit, xenon headlights and how they can illuminate your driving world.
If you could have a headlight kit that produced twice the light of halogen bulbs, and spent only half the power, that would be good, right? Yes, of course, it will be the idea of creating xenon headlights, which are quickly gaining recognition as standard equipment on luxury cars from around the world, and also find their way on some popular mass productions.
A key feature of the Xenon headlamp technology is that they create crisp white light closer to natural daylight, which has been proven to increase driver concentration. Reduced eye strain means that drivers can do what they need to get the best: getting to where they and their passengers go is safe and reliable.
Road signs and signs are easier to read with xenon headlights than halogen lamps. Indeed, xenon headlights are a major improvement in safety, as the driver's field of vision increases dramatically, thereby improving the response time in emergency situations. Driving on dark, unlit back roads can be a safety hazard even in daylight. However, when using xenon headlights that could hit your halogen car, you will get into the field of view much earlier if xenon lights are installed to avoid potentially dangerous contact. [for the buck definitely!]Popular polls show that up to 80% of all accidents occur due to poor visibility.
In European markets, cars with Xenon technology are also equipped with a headlight cleaning system to ensure optimal visibility, as well as an automatic leveling system, which allows you to limit the turning of the headlight projector when turning your car. Some systems use Xenon technology one more step: Xenon Dynamic Bending Light technology or DBL are special headlights that rotate the light beam according to the angle of the steering wheel. Working in high and low beam mode, bi-xenon headlights help to improve vision on broad curbs up to 90%.
Naturally, Xenon technology is expensive, and you cannot convert halogen headlights to Xenon or Xenon to bi-Xenon ... yet. However, some manufacturers sell auxiliary lights that can be added to your bumper to give you an alternative.
Of course, the price is one of the factors why Xenon technology is not yet widespread. Even on luxury cars, I saw bi-xenon headlights, offered as an option, for up to $ 750! As with all technological advances, you can expect someone to recycle technology that hit the market in 1992 to bring xenon headlights to the masses. This is good news for everyone, as accidents involving poor visibility should decrease accordingly.
